\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

What are Tostitos Hint of Guacamole Tortilla Chips?<\/h3>\n

The next evolution of Frito-Lay’s “Hint of” Tostitos is good ol’ guac.<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

Tostitos Hint of Guacamole pack a big flavor for a chip that only promises a little. They’re essentially “Hint of Doritos,” and for that reason, I loved them.<\/p>\n

There’s a fresh avocado taste despite no avocado in the ingredient list, which was a bit weird. I guess that’s an expense thing? Either way, the taste came through.<\/p>\n

\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

There’s a nice “hint of” heat that I was able to decipher, and then confirm, as jalapeno. The flavor reminded me a bit of Jalapeno Fritos<\/a>, which I can absolutely demolish in one or two sittings.<\/p>\n

I also noticed a \u2013 I guess the name really fits – a “hint of” cheese, which the ingredients confirmed as cheddar and Swiss. I wasn’t expecting that, but it definitely enhanced the overall flavor.<\/p>\n

These have all the elements of a great guacamole. Except for peas, which everyone knows is the key ingredient to a great guacamole dip. (Relax internet, I’m just kidding\u2026 although I would try that with zero remorse.)<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

Tostitos Hint of Lime might be my favorite tortilla chip, but the size and shape are annoying. You can easily break them into pieces, but let’s be real, we all try to shove the entire massive triangle into our mouths in one bite.<\/p>\n

Hint of Guac are the ideal size. I don’t dip flavored chips, so I want them to be snackable, and I gotta give Frito-Lay credit for opting to make these “bite sized rounds.”<\/p>\n

As I mentioned above, some chips are so caked in flavor, they might as well be guacamole-flavored Doritos \u2013 a variety I know exists, but has somehow eluded me my entire life. Maybe if enough people like these, Frito-Lay will take the hint and make those a year-round release.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

Despite the mild spice and an overload of sodium, I found these deliciously snackable.<\/p>\n

I think I’ve had most of the “Hint of” line, and would probably slot these just under Lime. I’d actually really like to try mixing these, Queso, and Lime together for a big “Hint of” Mexican dinner flavored mix. Someone test that out and get back to me.<\/p>\n
