Van Holten’s Pickle-in-a-Pouch Tapatio hot Sauce Flavor - 4 Pack

Product Information

This is Doritos’ response to Takis. Before I tried this I struggled to understand why we needed this flavor. You’d think we already had this one covered with Flamin’ Hot Limon but the form factor here makes all the difference. All of the flavors from the lime to the spice are more subtle here and because of the folds, you get more of that plain tortilla chip flavor. What we do know is that water leads the ingredient list and the sauce is thin, so the overall spiciness is very tempered here. Tapatio sits at roughly 3,000 Scoville heat units which puts it slightly hotter than the original red Tabasco Sauce (2,500 SHU). Compared to fresh peppers, Tapatio is as hot as a milder jalapeño pepper (2,500 to 8,000 SHU). Tapatío is a hot sauce that is popular in the United States. While some of the ingredients are a closely guarded secret, it has been confirmed that Red 40 (also known as Allura Red AC) is not used in Tapatío’s recipe. Therefore, you can rest assured that if you enjoy Tapatío Hot Sauce there will be no artificial coloring added to your food. Tapatio Ingredients Tapatio hot sauce is rated at around 2500-5000 on the Scoville scale, making it a mild to moderate heat level. This places it in the same range as Tabasco sauce, which falls between 2,500 and 5,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). It’s hotter than Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce (450–2,700 SHU), but not nearly as spicy as sriracha or sambal oelek (both around 10,000 SHU).

If you love the Nacho Cheese Dorito but think it’s a bit tame, Spicy Nacho might be just what you’re looking for. It tastes, predictably, just like Doritos Nacho Cheese but with a little bit of heat. Not so much that it’s going to make you salivate and need a glass of water to wash it down, but spicy enough that it keeps that nostalgic Nacho Cheese flavor feeling a little surprising and different. The bottle’s label has an artist’s depiction of what a true Tapatio looks like. “Tapatio” means colloquially someone from downtown Guadalajara, Mexico. Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras founded the iconic hot sauce company, Tapatio, in 1971. He was inspired by the flavors of his hometown in Jalisco, Mexico, and sought to create a condiment that would bring those authentic Mexican flavors to homes around the world. With its signature red label and bright green cap, Tapatio has become one of the most recognizable brands in Latin America and beyond. Does Tapatío Have Red 40As we mentioned before, there are a lot of redundant flavors in the Doritos Universe (we call it the DU for short). Flamin’ Hot Doritos are a Flamin’ Hot spicy version of Doritos Nacho Cheese, and Flamin’ Hot Limon is a lime-infused version of the Flamin’ Hot flavor, and aren’t cheesy at all. If that sounds confusing, it’s because it is, this isn’t the MCU we’re dealing with here — the DU is like the J.J. Abrams Star Wars movies, a mess of jumbled nostalgia and false points of intrigue. In conclusion, Tapatio hot sauce is a delicious condiment that adds flavor to almost any dish. It contains red chili peppers and other spices including garlic, salt, and vinegar. The hot sauce has a mild heat level which makes it appealing to many people who enjoy the taste without being overwhelmed by too much spice. Overall Tapatio Hot Sauce rolls with simple, reliable ingredients that are a sure-fit hit together. It won’t surprise you with unique flavor or crazy ingredient pairing, but it delivers exactly what you want for something you’ll want to use every day — a delicious fresh peppery taste with hints of garlic and spices. They get the flavor balance just about right to work with rich, flavorful foods. It’s uncomplicated and to the point. Tapatio Hot Sauce on a spoon It’s not Doritos version of Kettle Brand’s Korean BBQ Chip like you’d hope, it’s more like a BBQ chip with fewer spices. 5. Doritos Flamas Dane Rivera

Over 40 years later Tapatío Foods is still a family run business and has grown to become a staple not only in Hispanic households but in most American households today. Tapatío is a sauce that can be used with everything! Water leads things off — and that’s seen in the consistency. This is the thin kind of red sauce that gives you a nice kiss of red pepper flavor without it punching you out. Valentina is a popular brand of hot sauce that originated in Mexico and is now available worldwide. It contains several varieties of peppers, including guajillo, ancho, and pasilla peppers. Guajillo peppers are known for their mild heat level with notes of berry sweetness. While Ancho chilies bring a deeper smoky flavor to the mix.Tapatio Doritos features a pepper forward flavor with a lingering sour aftertaste and a vinegar hot sauce smell. Neither of those latter elements was a good idea. Or even a mediocre idea. Make fun of them all you want — clearly we’re keen to help. But know this: if it weren’t for fanatic Disney heads eager to buy anything the company throws at them, we wouldn’t have Doritos.
