Tostitos Chunky Salsa Mild

Tostitos Chunky Salsa Mild perfectly embodies the concept of American-style salsa: generous in chunks, flavorful, and accessible to all palates. This "Mild" version was specially formulated for those who enjoy Tex-Mex flavors without the fiery heat of chili peppers. It offers all the taste of authentic salsa with a very moderate heat level.

The chunky texture makes all the difference: real pieces of diced tomatoes , crunchy onions, and finely chopped jalapeños create a rich consistency that clings perfectly to the chips . The tomato puree base provides creaminess, while vinegar and garlic powder add depth. The result is a balanced salsa where each ingredient shines without overpowering the others.

This salsa is the perfect companion to Tostitos tortilla chips , but its versatility goes far beyond simple dipping. It elevates nachos, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and fajitas. It can also serve as a base for homemade taco sauce, as an accompaniment to Tex-Mex scrambled eggs, or as a topping for a Mexican burger.

Tip : For perfect American-style nachos, spread a layer of Tostitos Scoops on a baking sheet, add shredded cheese, bake until the cheese melts, then generously top with Chunky Salsa Mild. Refrigerate after opening.

The Tostitos brand was created in 1978 by Jack Liczkowski, head of product development at Frito-Lay. The goal was to offer a more authentic alternative to Doritos—round white corn tortilla chips with a distinctive "Mexican" flavor achieved through a traditional nixtamalization process. The name comes from the Spanish "tostadito" (little toasted thing). Success was immediate: by 1985, Tostitos was reaching $200 million in annual sales. The iconic logo hides a subtle message: the two "T"s represent two people dipping a chip (the yellow triangle) into a bowl of salsa (the red dot of the "i"). The salsa range also includes Medium and Hot versions for those looking for more intensity. As the Tostitos slogan says: "Get to the Good Stuff!"
