When Hernan Cortez
conquered Mexico in
1521, he not only
captured the vast
wealth of Aztec gold,
but he also introduced
the world to the
prefect snack – the
tortilla. Doritos are
tortilla corn chips –
literally translated from the
Spanish “Doritos” means “little
bits of gold”. We would love to be able to say that Cortez saw
the Aztecs eating tortillas and named them “Doritos”, but
that would be a lie. Now we can enjoy the many flavours of
Doritos: Cool Original, Tangy Cheese, Chilli Heatwave, Hint
of Lime, the classic Lightly Salted, Collisions Chicken Sizzle &
Zesty Salsa, and Collisions T-Bone Steak & Grilled Pepper.
In fact, it took until 1966 for Doritos Tortilla Chips to rise up from Mexico and take the US by storm. As with so many cool things, it took ages for Britain to catch up with their American cousins, but finally snack-starved Brits were able to dive into bags of Doritos in 1994.
Now we can enjoy the many flavours of Doritos: Cool Original, Tangy Cheese, Chilli Heatwave, Hint of Lime, the classic Lightly Salted, Collisions Chicken Sizzle & Zesty Salsa, and Collisions T-Bone Steak & Grilled Pepper.
Hang onto your brain cells, here comes the technical bit...
Unsurprisingly for a corn based snack, Doritos start life as corn on the cob. We harvest whole corn kernels before cleaning and grading them so that only the best go on to become Doritos.
The corn kernels now get a right going over. We
cook them, soak them and wash them before
grinding them into dough. This dough then
gets pounded, kneaded and rolled flat into thin
sheets, which are cut into the classic Doritos
shape - it's tough love, but worth it.
But there's more to come. The chips are toasted and then fried, before heading for the tumbling drum, where they tumble round and round while having their flavour added to them. Now that the chips are fully loaded with bold and intense flavour (if a bit dizzy), they go through a final quality control phase before being weighed out and put into packets.
The next thing they know, they're being eaten by hungry folk who want a tasty treat. But don't feel sorry for them, it's what they would have wanted.
