📖Origin Story
Salsa Verde is one of the most beloved limited-and-permanent flavors in the Doritos lineup. It draws inspiration from traditional Mexican salsa verde, a sauce made from tomatillos and green chiles that has been a staple of Mexican cuisine for centuries. Frito-Lay introduced the flavor to honor the deep Mexican heritage of the Dorito brand itself — the original Doritos were made from leftover tortillas at Disneyland's Casa de Fritos restaurant in the early 1960s. Salsa Verde has a passionate cult following and regularly tops fan polls.
