\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

Ya know, I\u2019ve never actually had Mexican Street Corn.<\/p>\n

Growing up near NYC, I\u2019ve eaten many street pretzels, various street meats, street nuts\u2026 and while I\u2019m talking about the literal gutter, I\u2019d kindly ask to keep your mind out of it. Street gum is another big one! There\u2019s a veritable rainbow of delicious street gum on every block, and it\u2019s there for the picking, Buddy the Elf buffet-style.<\/p>\n

However, Elote eludes me. I just never WANT corn on the cob, especially if I don\u2019t have floss nearby. All that said, I\u2019ll absolutely demolish some Elote-flavored snacks. I love Mexican food, and I love that Elote flavor profile, so when I saw Tostitos dropped a Mexican Street Corn chip, I hit the streets in search of them.<\/p>\n

These chips probably mark the seventh or eighth \u201cMexican Street Corn\u201d flavored snack I\u2019ve tried, and they\u2019ve all been good. If I had to choose the best, it would be Trader Joe\u2019s \u201cOrganic Elote\u201d Corn Chip Dippers. I\u2019d rank these Tostitos just below those.<\/p>\n

\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

What you get here are restaurant-style tortilla chips made with whole corn kernel masa, the \u201ctraditional way.\u201d I don\u2019t know the exact Aztecan process, but I can tell you that these are larger and denser than a typical Tostito. You get some \u201cthiccc boys,\u201d as no one still says.<\/p>\n

\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

I wanted to guess the ingredients before reading the label and landed on a hint of \u201cHint of Lime,\u201d mixed with a soft cheese\/queso-adjacent flavor (representing the cotija), mixed with maybe some sour cream, and a chili-like powder providing a flash of heat. In the end, I almost nailed it.<\/p>\n

\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

Seriously, you can envision a little bit of every flavored Tostito that came before this while chomping down on one of these massive triangles \u2013 Hint of Lime, Queso, Salsa Verde, Black Bean and Garlic \u2013 their spirits live in these chips. If I had to describe the flavor, I would call these Tostitos All Dressed.<\/p>\n

These pack so much flavor that they\u2019re almost a Dorito. You get savory, tangy, and spicy all in one. It\u2019s everything you\u2019d want from Mexican Street Corn without the strings of the cob stuck in your teeth.<\/p>\n

I had a stack with turkey chili, and they were money. I\u2019d imagine they\u2019d be versatile enough to work with literally any of the Mexican-style dips on the shelf.<\/p>\n

All that said, there is one thing that bugged me a bit.<\/p>\n

\"Tostitos<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t usually harp on the nutrition of the snacks I review because it\u2019s junk food, no one\u2019s under the impression it\u2019s healthy\u2026 but I gotta say, these things are highly caloric. Six chips are 140 calories. For context, Nacho Cheese Doritos are twelve for 150, so while six of these chips are basically the size of a taco shell, try not to indulge too much.<\/p>\n

The \u201cbig game\u201d is over. If it weren\u2019t, I would tell you to grab a bag along with every dip you can find. But ya know what? There will be more big games that call for big chips. Hit the streets.<\/p>\n
