Doritos

Doritos are a type of crunchy snack made from fried corn tortillas seasoned with various spices.

Their origin dates back to the United States in the 1960s, when the company Frito-Lay launched this product, inspired by traditional Mexican tortillas but with a modern twist and intense flavor.

Doritos are usually known for their flavor varieties, such as cheese, nacho, chili, and other seasonings that provide a strong and characteristic taste, making them ideal to accompany dips, sauces, or simply as a side dish at gatherings and parties.

From a nutritional standpoint, Doritos are a source of carbohydrates and fats derived from corn and the frying process, so their consumption should be moderate within a balanced diet.

In the Hispanic world, although there are no exact synonyms for this product, some people colloquially refer to them as "flavored totopos" or simply "corn chips" when referring to similar homemade or industrial snacks.
