10 Best Tortilla Chips | UK Nutritionist Reviewed

Doritos Chilli Heatwave is an incredible tortilla snack, and in our humble opinion, the only reason they lose points is that they're not gluten-friendly. Other than that, they have a brilliant spicy (but not too spicy) zingy flavour that is highly addictive and works grand either on its own or with a dip. 

They also bring that classic Doritos crunch that we've all grown to know and adore, with some fans even using them crushed up as a breaded coating! It might not be the most authentic choice, but we're sure that any tortilla chip aficionado's love for the snack started either with these or at least with something very similar.

Here, we have another option from the Manomasa range, and they're arguably the jewel in the brand's crown. We first want to mention the flavour combination, which is unique and fun, but most importantly tasty! The layered Mediterranean olives and tangy manchego cheese work in perfect harmony with one another. 

In addition to that, they're also one of, if not the healthiest options in the ranking, making them something of a holy grail in the food world. They're going to be an experiment for many, but as far as we're concerned, it's something every foodie needs to try.

If you're looking for some classic light salted tortilla chips to have in the cupboard for any occasion, then these from Gran Luchito will be more than up for the task. Looking for something to dip in your new salsa, tick. Need a base for your nachos, tick. Fancy a crunchy topping, tick. 

They're not the healthiest, nor the cheapest option in our ranking, but they do use an authentic and traditional Mexican cooking technique to produce their maize corn, which is inspirational and makes them taste amazing. 

Sometimes, having only one flavour of crisps in the cupboard can be a little disappointing, which is why some clever soul invented variety packs. This tortilla chips bundle from Hippeas contains two or three of each of all the classic flavour groups – salted, spicy, cheese and the lesser-tried ranch. 

As well as the exciting assortment of flavours, the tortilla chips also have a different main ingredient – chickpeas. Made with all-natural ingredients too, each pack will be a little healthier than traditional options and is higher in protein, too. 

Takis aren't overly common on our shores. They're a Mexican classic, however, and popular in Europe too, which is a big shame because these bad boys pack one hell of a kick. The Fuego (fire) Hot Chili Pepper crisps aren't an instant tongue burner, but as you shovel them down, the heat begins to intensify with every bite. 

Not only are they full of exceptional flavour and a satisfying crunch due to the rolled-up shape, but they also boast one of the lowest calorie counts per serving, so you can sneak in that extra crisp when pouring out your bowl. Unfortunately, due to their rarity, they are on the pricey side. 

If you're looking for something with a smoky barbecue flavour without too much of a spicy kick, then these lentil chips are well worth trying out. They have a slightly puffier texture than corn but aren't so different as to be overly noticeable.

They are completely vegan friendly, gluten-free and made using all-natural seasonings. They're also noticeably lower in fat than many other chips and are only 94 calories per 20 g serving so make a great healthy snack on their own without dip!

Old El Paso might be better known for their Tex-Mex kits than their nachos, but if you were to stop and think about it, why couldn't they produce the goods? Thankfully, one of their higher-ups had already thought about this and decided to take the plunge. 

Their nachips, a play on nacho chips in case you missed it, are low on salt and light on flavour, meaning they're ideal for pairing with dips and sauces as they won't overpower the other condiments. Plus, they're a unique round shape that helps with the dipping process. 

Doritos Tangy Cheese is one of the archetypal tortilla chips. They'll get your tastebuds dancing with their rich flavour, and the texture is something that we will all no doubt recognise from childhood. Surprisingly, they have one of the lowest salt contents per serving, which is thankfully not reflected in the taste! 

However, they're not the best for those with dietary requirements as there is both milk powder and wheat flour in the ingredients, meaning they're a little more limiting. Still, if you're looking for a full-bodied cheese extravaganza and you've no specific dietary needs, these are a classic.

These Manomasa tortilla crisps lean heavily on their chipotle flavouring, so there is plenty of strong, smoky chilli knocking about on each crisp. Furthermore, the pieces each have actual bits of chilli running through them, so they are guaranteed to appeal to those who like mouth-watering, spicy flavours. 

Sadly, though, the lime is almost non-existent. In fact, to the point where one wouldn't know it was there unless you were looking for it. So, if you're looking for that contrast in taste that the packaging promises, then you'll be disappointed. But if you're a big chipotle fan, you'll like what's inside.

Made with simple, natural ingredients, these tortilla chips from Mister Free'd are a tasty pick for two reasons. Firstly, their 'Mexican' flavour incorporates a little black carrot root for a slightly sweeter taste, and secondly, they're made with ground blue corn which ensures you're getting something authentic-tasting.

Moreover, anyone can enjoy this pack of chips as they're completely vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. They're known to be particularly crunchy, which could be a positive or a negative depending on your snacking or dipping preferences.
