DO THESE TASTE GOOD? Yes.
WHY OR WHY NOT? These are an interesting chip. It’s not like one side of the chip is coated in creamy powder while the other is covered in spice. Looking at the chip, the powders are either mixed together or layered. Also, the ingredient list doesn’t mention chipotle – only “spice” and paprika. The creaminess comes from the buttermilk?
Biting into a chip, the first flavor I got was a slight initial chipotle tang and then…Cool Ranch. Well, Cool Ranch with a bit of BBQ-accent to it. The flavor was a bit more onion-y and garlicky than a normal Cool Ranch. The savoriness was good – and then came the heat. These were definitely spicy. I see where they’ve been hiding all of the spices from the past Doritos Roulette – they’re here. Maybe not as directly spicy as the Roulette, since the creaminess helps cool things, but there is no way to say these are NOT spicy. These have a burn. Faint tongues, you’ll wanna pass on these.
The Chipotle flavor? I got more of that in the aftertaste – as I breathed in and out after eating some chips, I DEFINITELY got that chipotle flavor all up in my mouth and nose (accented by a lingering onion flavor).
All in all, I liked these – a creamy, savory chip with some burn. And it did sort of taste like chipotle cream sauces I’d eaten in the past. I think it’s a flavor which requires some head deconstruction, which I’m not a huge fan of. But yes – liked these.
ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW? ‘Bout time with the new Doritos flavors, guys.
