About Doritos
Doritos are seasoned tortilla chips launched by Frito-Lay in 1966, the first tortilla chip sold nationally in the United States. The story that they began as repurposed tortillas from a Disneyland restaurant is widely told; the taco and nacho cheese flavours that followed in the 1970s established the seasoned-chip category.
