I can honestly say that, if given a choice at the grocery store, I will always buy Tostitos Tortilla chips…always so I was super excited to be able to tell you about the Cinco de Mayo recipes Frito-Lay’s Flavor Kitchen Executive Chef Stephen Kalil created!

But before I tell you the recipes, did you know Frito-Lay recently committed to make 50% of its product portfolio with all natural ingredients – meaning no artificial flavors or preservatives and no MSG.  This includes all SunChips multigrain snacks, Lay’s potato chips and the Cinco de Mayo staple, Tostitos tortilla chips? How awesome is that?
