Advantages: Acceptable Flavour, Good Size for Dipping

Disadvantages: Over Priced, Mild Unexpected Flavour

Philleas Fogg Mexican Sour Cream Tortillas usually retail for around £1.50 for a large 140g packet. The daughter picked these up on offer in Morissons the other week for only 49p though! Tesco also have them on offer at present, but are only reducing them to £1 per packet.

I think the first thing worth mentioning here is that these didn't taste anything like what I expected them to taste like. I was expecting a bit of a creamy flavour from the sour cream, along with a hit of chilli. What I actually got instead was more of a chilli and lime flavour though. Perhaps what I felt was lime was a mixture of chilli with the sour edge from the sour cream. It's irrelevent really though, what matters is that it tasted like lime to me! I don't dislike these, I just didn't expect the flavour I got.

The texture is what I expected at least, a nice thick, crunchy and slightly floury tortilla chip. These are great for dipping, as they're solid and really well sized too. I think they only just pass for being a decent brand name tortilla chip though, as to be honest, they do remind me a little of the Tesco Value tortilla chips you can get - only these are larger.

I didn't hate these and I wouldn't put others off trying them, but I don't think I'll be buying them again. The flavour isn't that appealing, or particularly strong, and the general texture is acceptable but nothing special. The only real thing that these have going for them over other brands is their large size, which is ideal for dipping.

Summary: Not Particularly Recommended
