The immediate comparison that jumped at me is Salsa Verde Doritos. They have the same authentic and richly deep pepper taste as that Doritos variety, but with a sweeter and more tomato-y flavor that gives them their own unique presence in the Frito-Lay spicy chip hierarchy. It&#8217;s that extra layer of acidity, like the difference between white rice and orange Mexican rice, that really makes the flavor stand out.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>For a chip claiming to be habanero-flavored, they aren&#8217;t nearly as hot as I was expecting, but that doesn&#8217;t take away from how delicious they are. Their heat is a far cry from the brand&#8217;s Flamin&#8217; Hot staple, but I find it even more impressive that they taste great and peppery in a way that isn&#8217;t just heat.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to set your mouth on fire in the way eating a raw habanero would, this may let you down, but I&#8217;m hooked. I&#8217;ll take flavor over fire any day and these still have just enough heat to make my tongue tingle with an authentic peppery sweetness that makes them undeniable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.50 (on sale)<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 11 oz bag<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Target<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (20 chips\/28 grams) 150 calories, 8 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 180 milligrams of sodium, 18 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, less than 1 gram of sugar, 2 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Tostitos Habanero?
