Snack #179- Doritos Fiery Fusion Sizzlin’ Cayenne & Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips

Doritos Fiery Fusion Sizzlin’ Cayenne & Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips

Like the Cheetos, these Doritos have a super bland cheese flavor followed by a powerful punch of heat.  It’s almost silly how weak the cheese flavoring is compared to the heat- without the heat they would be the worst cheese flavored tortilla chips ever.  With the heat added they are only marginally better- they certainly attack the back of the tongue and throat but the flavor isn’t particularly delicious.  They are definitely spicier than the Cheetos but the flavor profile overall is exactly the same.  They could benefit a lot by making the cheese flavors taste better so the heat isn’t the only thing they have going for them.

Rating on the Spice-O-Meter: 6/10
Bottom Line: Poor cheese flavoring but a huge kick of heat.
