Tapatio

Tastes like someone poured Tapatio hot sauce directly onto a Dorito — because essentially they did. Tangy, vinegary heat with a deep red pepper flavor and a slow burn that hot sauce lovers will immediately recognize and adore.

The Tapatio Doritos collaboration launched in 2015 and was one of the first major brand crossovers in the snack industry. Tapatio, the beloved California-born hot sauce with its iconic sombrero-wearing logo, partnered with Frito-Lay to create a flavor that genuinely tasted like the sauce rather than a generic "hot" flavor. The collaboration was a massive success and helped pave the way for future Doritos brand partnerships. It has a particularly devoted following in the American Southwest and among hot sauce enthusiasts nationwide.
