Cheese Doritos are a popular American snack originating from the Tex-Mex cuisine-inspired flavored chip category. Made from cornmeal, these triangular chips are fried and coated with a bold cheese seasoning blend that includes cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and a mix of spices. While they offer a satisfying crunch and a savory, tangy taste, Cheese Doritos are primarily categorized as a processed snack food. Nutritionally, they are high in carbs and fats due to the frying process and cheese-flavored coating, along with sodium levels that can contribute to daily intake limits quickly. On the less healthy side, additives and artificial flavors may be present, and the chips are low in fiber and vitamins. However, they do provide a quick source of energy and might be enjoyed in moderation for a treat or as part of a balanced diet.
