Flamin' Hot Nacho

Everything you love about Nacho Cheese, then set on fire. The familiar cheesy base hits first, followed by a slow-building, mouth-coating heat that lingers long after the chip is gone. Addictive in the most dangerous way possible.

Flamin' Hot Nacho is the fiery offspring of two Frito-Lay legends: the Flamin' Hot seasoning — famously said to have been inspired by a janitor named Richard Montañez who pitched the idea to the CEO in 1991 — and the iconic Nacho Cheese Dorito. The combination was a natural evolution as the Flamin' Hot line exploded in popularity through the 2000s and 2010s. It became a staple of convenience stores and school cafeterias across America, beloved by heat seekers who still wanted that cheesy backbone.
