Back in 1990, Jay Leno assured us that when it comes to Doritos, we could “crunch” all we wanted because they would spicy nacho doritos more. Since 1966, the Frito-Lay brand tortilla chips have expanded from humble beginnings as Disneyland trash to mainstream supermarket success — now offering a vast array of flavors.
In turn, hiding within the confines of the classic flavors is not only personally limiting, but can seriously affect your review as a Super Bowl party host. But how will you ever have the time to sample all the Dorito flavors in your lifetime? Fret no longer, beloved chip enthusiast, as we have compiled a list of everything you need to put the hip back in chip. Here is a list of every Doritos flavor, ranked worst to best.
As a dip, salsa verde is a nice alternative to the typical red tomato-based salsa, offering a lighter and more earthy taste. As a chip, however, this flavor is no bueno. In theory, Doritos’ Salsa Verde should work. It combines all the necessary components of the salsa verde experience: the tangy tomatillo, the slight kick of the pepper, the fresh essence of the cilantro, and the crunchy corn tortilla chip. The only thing missing is the actual texture of salsa — cold, wet, and lumpy with ingredients — and perhaps that is where the problem lies. Because biting into a Salsa Verde Dorito is a confusing and disappointing experience. For a hot second, it seems like it might be Cool Ranch, but then the pepper and cilantro hit and boom, you’ve got a mouth full of spicy dirt.
