La Reina Baked Tortilla Chips
She Said | 2 Stars
This is your basic corn tortilla chip, but a healthier version. It has very little fat, no cholesterol, and even has a little protein and fiber. There is always a special texture to baked snacks, but these aren’t bad. In fact, the texture is darn close to those typical oil-fried chips. These have just the right amount of salt, but well, they’re a little too “corny” for me.

Holy bland Batman! These are one of the most insipid things I have ever eaten! They’re lightly salted, which helps, but once the salt is gone, you’re left with a dull-as-dishwater corn flavor… and nothing else. They might be good with some salsa, but not by themselves.
Kettle Tias All Natural Tortilla Chips “Zesty Ranch”
She Said | 5 Stars
Move over Ranch Doritos, there’s a new chip on the block. Zesty, sassy, peppy, perky – however you name it, these corn chips are de-lish! It’s hard to resist ranch-flavored anything, but combine that with corn chips made with organic corn and all-natural ingredients – this one is a no-brainer!

I’d love to give Kettle a good review because their potato chips are amazing, but I can’t. These zesty ranch tortilla chips are a poor copy of Doritos Ranch chips. Aside from Kettle’s organic corn, the nutrition label is almost exactly the same as Doritos, yet they had half the flavor. Sorry Kettle, stick to potato chips.
Late July Organic Multigrain Snack Chips “Mild Green Mojo”
She Said | 4 Stars
“Whoa!” was my first reaction. There’s no shortage of flavor with these chips, and it might even keep you from eating too many! The description on the bag: “Green chiles with cheese & a hint of lime” is spot on – I was able to taste all of the flavors, including the zippy, spicy finish. Green chile fans will love these chips.

I’ve died and gone to tortilla chip heaven. These were absolutely delicious. The perfect blend of spicy chiles, mellow cheese and lime. I’m not going to lie, I finished the whole bag the day after we bought it, and I’m going back for more tomorrow!
365 Everyday Value Organic Lightly Salted Blue Corn Tortilla Chips
She Said | 4 Stars
There must be something about simple ingredients, because what 365 does with five ingredients is pretty impressive. I also haven’t met a blue corn tortilla chip I didn’t like. These have a hearty blue corn flavor and texture that will pair up perfectly with a chunky salsa. Lightly salted is the way to go – it’s healthier for you and tasted great!

I’ve always preferred blue corn chips over white or yellow. They seem to have a sweeter, almost nutty flavor. 365 did a good job making these. There is the perfect amount of salt on every chip and they’re USDA organic with no GMO corn!
Garden of ‘Eatin’ All Natural Tortilla Chips “Nacho Cheese”
She Said | 4 Stars
Yet another challenger for Doritos. Made with organic yellow corn, organic nacho cheese and all natural ingredients, this may be my “go to” chip when I’m in the mood for snazzy nacho cheesiness. The cheese flavor was addicting, but the firmness of the chips was quite the jaw workout. At least that kept me from eating the whole bag!

The bag says Nacho Cheese, but all I tasted was cheddar cheese, no chili, no Jack. Don’t get me wrong, they were still very good. They had a strong, real cheddar flavor on a light crunchy chip. I’ll definitely be eatin’ them again, but I’m going to have to deduct one star for the mislabelin’.
