Snack #62- Ranchitas Sabor Xtremo Jalapeño Fogoso Tortilla Chips (Extreme Flavor Ardent Jalapeño)


Ranchitas Sabor Xtremo Jalapeño Fogoso Tortilla Chips (Extreme Flavor Ardent Jalapeño)

These tortilla chips are very similar to Doritos, and basically taste like jalapeño and cheese, which is exactly how they are advertised. The cheese flavor is fairly artificial, similar to the cheese color on the actual chip. But they are still pretty tasty for a Costa Rican snack chip, although not particularly spicy. They are also very salty, and the flavoring is not that evenly dispersed, some bites are spicier and some are cheesier. They burn in the throat a little bit when a few are eaten in rapid succession but that might be a slight exaggeration. But overall they give a nice pepper and cheese tortilla crunch and are pretty satisfying, even if they don’t induce jumping in the air like the happy people on the bag.

Rating on the Spice-O-Meter: 2/10
Bottom Line: Artificial cheese and jalapeño goodness
