Advantages: slightly healthier than usual tortillas
Disadvantages: not at all like tortillas
WHY I TRIED THIS
I absolutely adore tortillas -- Doritos especially. I love the crunch and the nuttiness, and it's just the awesome replacement for popcorn (which tend to be soggy) while watching a movie! But here comes the problem - your usually Doritos are deceptively unhealthy - they're extremely high in fat, and in sodium as well. So Weightwatchers, I thought, was going to be the answer.
I've tried several of other Weightwatchers products like their biscuits and they're really not too bad for something that's apparently 'better' for your diet. This product however just doesn't cut it as tortillas.
PACKAGING
This product comes in a huge pack of 5 smaller packs, that is meant to help you control your nachos intake. But to be honest, if you're a real nacho lover, you are more likely to head out to your local supermarket to get a real packet of tortillas ;-)
APPEARANCE AND TASTE
The tortillas are thicker than usual - and they look more like crackers, and yes, they ARE probably more like crackers. The flavour of cheesy nachos is kind of subdued, plus the thicker crackers simply make this taste more like (not so) cheesy crackers than like cheesy nachos.
NUTRITION
Nutritionally this is lower in fat, but I still find the sodium content rather high as well as the carbohydrate content.
VERDICT?
I'm not sure if I would really give up that pack of Doritoes for this.. sometimes, taste is more important than health!
Summary: Would recommend only if you're desperate to have 'healthier' junk food.
