In just a few days, Target will carry RW Garcia Tortatos, the world¹s first-ever half tortilla chip, half potato chip. Tortatos uniquely combine red potatoes and stone-ground white corn to create a chip that has the crunch of a tortilla chip and the finish of a potato chip. These make the perfect healthy and satisfying summer snack for the whole family.

The new RW Garcia Tortatos come in four flavors familiar to those who love traditional potato chips ­ Original, Barbecue, Salt & Pepper and Salt & Vinegar. The white corn¹s inherent sweetness and the excellent flavor of red potatoes provide the best tasting and lightest chip, with 25% less fat than traditional potato chips. As with all RW Garcia chips, Tortatos are all natural, Non-GMO Project verified and gluten free certified, and they contain no additives or preservatives.

Since this week’s road trip posts are all about Northern California, thought I’d shine the spotlight on a San Jose based brand, RW Garcia.

RW Garcia has been in business for over 30 years and makes a variety of all-natural, Non-GMO, gluten-free corn-based snacks. Recently, I was provided with a sampling of chips to try out and found some new favorite snacks.

The newest ones to the market are the Tortatos, a combination red potato and white corn chip. They come in four flavors – Original, Barbeque, Salt & Pepper and Salt & Vinegar.

Potato and corn together in a chip – genius! Not only are they tasty but they’ve got a great crunch without the grease of a potato chip. The original is perfect for dipping and the others are great on their own. Especially the barbeque…so, so good. Before I knew it I had eaten the entire bag!

What do you get when you cross a tortilla chip and a potato chip? Tortatos are the world’s first-ever cross between the two! This healthy snack tastes like nothing else on the market. They are available in four mouth-watering flavors including Original, Salt and Pepper, Salt and Vinegar, and Barbeque.
