Food Should Taste Good Tortilla Chips are the Dairy-Free Gold Standard

Many years ago, I was so excited when Food Should Taste Good Tortilla Chips came out. They were the first natural chip brand that was completely dairy free – in every flavor. Over the years, they have added some dairy flavors (avoid the “cheese” ones!), but they still offer a good array of dairy-free and vegan options, each made with real non-GMO ingredients.

Tasting Notes for Food Should Taste Good Tortilla Chips

Sadly, some of my favorite Food Should Taste Good chip flavors (I’m thinking of you Olive) have been discontinued. You can see the retired dairy-free flavors further down in this post. But they still make several flavors, most of which are dairy-free. I’ve included tasting notes below for the current flavors that we’ve tried.

Overall, these are nice, thick, crunchy tortilla chips that are quite fresh compared to other brands. Because the flavors come from whole food ingredients, and not just seasonings, Food Should Taste Good Tortilla Chips definitely taste best the same day they are opened. They’re good later, but the flavor mellows with time. At the least, try to keep them well sealed after opening to preserve the taste.

Multigrain

This chip boasts a very complex taste that is comforting, hearty, and intriguing. It doesn’t have a traditional multigrain flavor. Instead, I found the seeds dominated the scene. The brown rice and quinoa offer some graininess, but they were subtle in flavor. Overall, these chips had a pleasant taste and could be thought of as multi-purpose for dipping.

Sweet Potato

I love sweet potato chips, but this was a new experience, a true sweet potato chip – tortilla chip hybrid. I found these ovals to be lightly salty, lightly sweet, and a lovely marriage. Of course, the tortilla chip was still the most assertive one in the relationship. The shy gentleness of the sweet potatoes followed the definitive corn crunch and taste. I would choose this chip over an ordinary tortilla chip any day!
