RW Garcia has married white corn with red potatoes to create Tortatos, a match made in munchie heaven. These irresistible hybrids have the crispy-crunch of potato chips with the hearty appeal of corn chips. Available in mouthwatering flavor varieties (Original, Salt & Pepper, Salt & Vinegar, Barbeque), Tortatos are made with all-natural ingredients and no artificial additives. Plus, they’re certified gluten-free and non-GMO.

There is something about the combination of crunchy and salty from chips that just makes snacking better. But when the snacking urge strikes us here at the Mother Earth Living office, we like to indulge in better-for-you options. Sure it would be easy to take the short trip to the vending machine, which hosts a seemingly unlimited variety of chips, but why choose chips that contain monosodium glutamate (MSG), partially hydrated oils and unhealthy amounts of sodium when there are tasty, healthier options that are better for us—and the planet?

RW Garcia Barbecue Tortatos

RW Garcia has managed to perfect a chip that’s part tortilla chip and part potato chip. The infusion is fascinating and delightful. In every bite you taste a little tortilla and a little potato. It’s the best of both worlds! And, although these chips are not organic, they are certified gluten- and GMO-free.

Tortatos are Non GMO Verified, Certified Gluten-free and kosher certified (OU). They are available in 4 flavors. A serving equals 11 chips (1 ounce).
