Doritos Toro Habanero

Wow.  Let me just start with, Wow. I wasn’t sure what to expect with these, especially after the Doritos Diablo Enchilado that I picked up with these at the 7-Eleven.  Would they be hot? What they have flavor? Would they disappoint?

At first bite, there is a distinct habanero flavor.  Subtle, but there, along with a slight bit of nacho cheese.  The heat however, is milder than what I expected.  And thats where it gets you.  Eating one, isn’t bad.  Eating a couple in a row, is ok.  It’s when you continue throwing them in your mouth that it catches up on you and really drops the heat bomb on you.  Not an unbearable heat, but enough where not only could I taste it, but I could feel it.  It is a kick in the throat and I could ALMOST feel myself start to sweat a little bit while I was eating these. But I can’t stop eating them, they are that good.

The crunchiness is the standard Dorito fair, along with the greasiness.

Overall, these are a very good hot chip, that not only uses habanero to say it is a hot chip, but actually has the TASTE of habanero in it.  If you are a fan of hot chips, and can find these in your area, then by all means, give them a shot.
