Lays Kettle Cooked Creamy Queso & Salsa

What’s not to love about the combination of queso and salsa?  Apparently the people at Lays thought the same thing, and decided to throw this combination of flavors together.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t feel like they have put much thought into it, except to add the cheddar cheese flavor and the salsa flavor to a chip and call it a day.  There is a slight cheese taste with a small salsa kick which isn’t that bad actually.  However, instead of a unique flavor, you get the combination of two different flavors that just doesn’t quite do the flavors justice, and is making that kick that should make it stand out.

The crunch is what is to be expected from a lays kettle cooked chip, and the amount of grease is on par with their other kettle cooked chips.  While I have noticed that the smaller brands due tend to have a better crunch, these chips offer a respectable amount of pleasant crunch.

Overall, while a very nice taste and perfectly acceptable chip for those looking for something a little different, Lays dropped the ball on this one and what they could of offered us.
