You know I love Doritos ketchup tortilla chips so when my friend Vicky told me that they had guacamole tortilla chips available for a limited time, I was so curious. I looked at my local market and London Drugs with zero luck.
Then Vicky showed up at my door with my own bag of their guacamole chips for the weekend!
I have to admit—the first thing I thought when I tried them was, wow, these are kind of… funky… I was expecting tons of lime, avocado (of course), potentially garlic flavour but what I tasted? Cilantro. A flavour that I am trying to warm up to and do not turn to naturally.
I liked that the chips were well covered in the green dust of flavour, but did I like that flavour? I kept eating. There was no point in asking Reg to try them since he is not a fan of guacamole so I brought it to a D&D character-creation night.
One person tasted the lime which surprised me. One person said they were good but did not taste like guacamole. Vicky loves them but she is a huge fan of cilantro. That said, she has sampled two bags of these chips and said that one was limier than the other. Clearly I got a lime-light bag which really impacted my ability to connect with this product.
Do they taste like guacamole? My bag did not. My bag tasted like creamy and crunchy cilantro. I did warm up to them and still think they were very good but I so wish there was more lime so I could love them.
I give this product three out of five wooden spoons.

I love cilantro/coriander taste, but I can also see that flavour taking over. I love that she stopped by with a bag. So fun.

It is super strong, especially since it can be bitter. Vicky is awesome, a great friend.

And if you don’t fancy it, I can see it not being as enjoyable. For sure.
Suzie the Foodie says
Oh yes, if you don’t like guacamole, stay away. Quite a few people said it didn’t taste like it though. I was shocked when someone said they could taste the lime. I want more lime!!!
The Happy Whisk says
Lime is refreshing. I like to make hot drinks with it.

Based on your photos, aesthetically….they are not at all pleasant. They look like gross moldy, wasabi, zombie chips
Suzie the Foodie says
Well the ketchup ones look pretty horrific I guess and I love them. Zombie chips! That’s awesome.
