I like nachos/tortillas (whatever you like to call them). I also like food on special offer.
This combined equals a cracking shopping trip for me, with an excellent result for my cupboards.

**Product**

Phileas Fogg is one of the latest in a long line of companies trying to get in on the grab/share bag crisp market. The packs come in various flavours inspired by "authentic tastes from around the world". The range includes your bog-standard crisps, but also tortilla chips, and poppadoms.
Some of the flavours are pretty ordinary (salt & pepper), and some are a bit more interesting and chilli-based.

This Senorita purchased the Mexican Sour Cream Tortillas for the special offer price of one English Pound (normally £1.56), from the soul-sapping, harshly lit, aisles-of-plenty (Tesco).


**Pop the pack Pedro**

On first inspection of the pack (exactly as dooyoo picture), I feel a little miffed that I'm only getting 140g of the stuff, compared to the 200-250g you get in a pack of Doritos.
However, on closer inspection of the tortillas themselves I feel a little more satisfied with my choice. Each tortilla is quite large (noticeably so, having been used to Doritos, and Tesco's own brand of tortillas).
This pleases me as I have an insistence to dip tortillas into any old goo that may be lying about my fridge (*warning* this method can give mixed results).

A lovely golden brown colour (with reassuring 'cooking' or scorch type marks), they are dusted with a thin coating of flavour. You can smell the mixture of chilli (jalapeno) and sour cream.

As one tiptoes its way into my mouth, I'm pleasantly surprised for a couple of reasons:
1. You can actually taste the jalapeno, the 'baked' flavour, AND the sour cream (rather than the chilli overpowering the other flavourings).
2. They are very mildly spiced so I do not end up with my chatter muscle on fire (I'm not really one for spicy food!).

Although there is definitely the jalapeno spice lurking, the sweetness & coolness of the sour cream flavouring counterbalances it perfectly. Neither flavouring is too much, which incidentally allows the taste of the actual chip itself to come through.

The texture of the tortillas is just right for me; enough crunch & thickness without too many rough lumps when chewed.
These are thick enough to drag through a liquid or dip of almost any viscosity, without snapping in two and leaving you with rather messy fingers; and the added embarrassment of a possible shark sighting in your pot of dip.

The ingredients are pretty standard, but this product does contain milk and wheat.
It is however "Free From Artificial Colours, Free From Artificial Flavours, Free From MSG (yay!), Suitable for Vegetarians".


**Corny Conclusion**

I bought these on the off-chance that they wouldn't be too hot for me, and they are now my favourite (flavoured) tortilla chips.
These are great to eat by themselves or with accompaniment.

I wouldn't recommend these for those who like a reasonable amount of spice to their food - these seem to be more about the combination of flavours, rather than how spicy they can be.

I can't quite give these 5 stars, because I feel at their regular selling price, they are somewhat on the expensive side for 140g of crisps. It is also far too easy to get through a bag quickly (and one bag wouldn't go very far if you had guests round)!
However, when on offer I think the value for money is more acceptable... thus I just squirrel them away until the next batch of offers come round!
