Tostitos How Could You!

[ekdumas19]

So since I have been diagnosed, chips and salsa have been my go to snack food. Corn chips are delicious and have always been safe for me. But now Tostitos have have come out with chips made with flour, kind of along the lines of flour tortilla instead of corn but for chips. I think I need to buy a bag, and open them up just to see what they look like, and hope that they differ from the corn chips. For instance at parties, what if someone buys these, sticks them out and they look just like the regular ones I have always loved. I mean I can obviously ask to see the bag, or ask the host, too bad i never had to before. So this is just a warning for everyone, don't grab blindly for those nachos!

LOL I agree, flour Tostitos are the worst idea ever. I kind of yell at the television screen every time I see the commercial for them

I went to a friends house yesterday and they had multigrain corn chips.....grrrrrr!!

My favorite Tostitos chip had been the Bite Sized Gold, and I was so mad when I saw that they recently have made the flour tortilla chips and they are EXACTLY the same size and shape as the bite size gold chips! I assume that means that they are run on the same macine that makes that size! I no longer feel safe buying my favorite chips. I had to go find a NEW favorite...

Hmmm maybe stick with the Tostitos scoops? Or bite sized rounds? Those would be easy to tell apart. I don't really have a preference in terms of tortilla chips, but recently I have been getting into the blue corn ones--somebody makes a really good Blue Sesame corn chip, and Miguel's brand also makes a great one. But for me Tostitos always had the best balance of salt and crunch! Ahhh just have to be more careful now. I wonder why they did it, probably to promote more whole grains?

So have you seen the flour chips? Are they a brown color or noticeably different then the corn chips?

I hope they're made in a separate factory but I doubt it. I usually buy the garden of eatin chips anyway. Hopefully they stay with just corn.

It is a local company in Central California and for the life of me I can't recall the name. I am out right now. I will post the name when I get a new bag. They are thicker and crunchier than regular Tostitos, much like the Bite Sized Gold.

I haven't seen an opened bag, but you can see the picture on the bag and they look exactly like the Bite Sized Gold only a light tan colored. The Bite Sized Gold chips are very golden yellow. They are very obvioulsy a flour tortilla chip. I do not think you could mistake them for a corn tortilla chip.

Okay, I bought some more of my "new favorite" chips today. They are Casa Sanchez Thin & Light Tortilla chips. They are really great chips. They remind me of the homemade chips I used to get from the authentic mexican food restaurants years ago. Very tasty, thin, crisp and just the right amount of salt! They hold up well with salsa, guacamole and nachos piled high with everything!

Casa Sanchez is a company that is based out of San Francisco and they are basically only sold in stores in Northern California. I live right in the middle of the grey area where northern and southern CA run together. So some delivery routes consider us northern and some consider us southern...

Anyhow, I am confident that the chips are gluten free. The company ONLY makes corn tortilla chips (corn flour, oil, lime and sea salt), corn tortillas, fresh salsa and guacamole. There is nothing in the factory to contaminate the chips with gluten. They have been a family run company since the 1920's and using the same family recipes the whole time. I do not forsee any recipe changes with this company!! You can buy the chips online and I highly recommend them. They also make a Thick & Crispy chip and this time I bought a bag to try. I'll let you guys know about them when I get to that bag!
