A "ready-to-eat" nacho tray of Tostitos. |
Tostitos is a brand of
tortilla chips produced by
Frito-Lay and introduced in
1979, with national distribution reached in
1981. They are made from all-white
corn with no
trans fat. Traditionally, Tostitos chips contain no extra flavoring or
preservatives, and thus are advertised to be suited for dipping. Chips are about 1 â…" of an inch in diameter, and are often eaten with
salsa or
nacho cheese dip. Recently the traditional corn chip has been enhanced by the addition of a "hint" of lime.
There are several varieties of Tostitos:
*Tostitos
Gold - a thicker and larger version of the original, advertised to hold the thickest of dips.
*Tostitos
Hint of Lime - a version with a lime flavoring added.
*Tostitos
Multigrain - made with whole wheats and grains.
*Tostitos
Restaurant Style - A much larger triangular style chip, similar to what is used in traditional Mexican-style restaurants.
*Tostitos
Scoops - a molded tortilla chip that allows for scooping salsas and dips.Frito-Lay also produces
Doritos, a similar snack food that includes flavouring.
