Doritos Nacho Cheese Flavoured Tortilla Chips

Doritos Nacho Cheese flavoured tortilla chips are one of the most widely recognized snack foods across Canada and around the world. The Doritos brand originated in the 1960s at the Casa de Fritos restaurant located within Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Recognizing the popularity of the seasoned, fried leftover tortillas, Frito-Lay vice president Arch West championed their commercial production, leading to the nationwide rollout of Doritos in the United States in 1966 and the debut of the iconic Nacho Cheese flavour in 1972.

Today, Doritos is owned and managed by PepsiCo, Inc., a major multinational food, snack, and beverage corporation headquartered in Purchase, New York. In the Canadian market, the brand is operated by PepsiCo Foods Canada, a domestic subsidiary that manufactures snacks locally across multiple facilities in provinces such as Ontario, Alberta, and Quebec using primarily domestic and imported agricultural ingredients.

While "nacho chips" can refer broadly to generic tortilla chips or store-brand nachos made by various private label manufacturers (such as Loblaw's No Name or President's Choice), the flagship brand synonymously linked to nacho-flavoured chips in Canadian grocery aisles is Doritos under the Frito-Lay and PepsiCo umbrella.
