Building on the success of its fan-favorite Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips, Trader Joe's has just unveiled new Ranch Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips.
Perfect for ranch lovers, these new chips combine the herbaceous, tangy flavor of creamy ranch dressing with the satisfying crunch of a rolled tortilla chip. To create this perfect combo, Trader Joe's supplier created a signature blend of savory seasonings, including buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley. This zesty spice mixture is then added to thighly rolled tortilla chips that are perfect for on-the-go snacking or pairing with your favorite dips. Best of all, the new Ranch Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips are not a limited-time item, which means you can go ahead and make them a pantry staple.
