The Tostitos Mexican Street Corn chips are a new version of the brand's signature triangular tortilla chips that are perfect for fans of Mexican cuisine to try out this winter. The snack features the brand's classic tortilla chips that are covered in a seasoning that's inspired by the flavor of Mexican street corn (AKA elotes) to allow them to be enjoyed right out of the bag with or without a dip. The snack product builds on the brand's popularity as a standalone chip option in recent years that has seen consumers enjoying it without a dip or salsa.
