Xochitl Chips Levels Up with 100% Avocado Oil
The snack aisle is evolving—and tortilla chips are getting a serious upgrade. Xochitl, known for its incredibly thin and crispy tortilla chips, has officially transitioned its entire product line to 100% pure avocado oil, delivering a cleaner crunch and a better-for-you snacking experience.
As consumers increasingly look for snacks made with simpler, higher-quality ingredients, Xochitl is setting a new benchmark for premium tortilla chips. From longtime favorites like Sea Salt to exciting new flavors like Spicy Lime and Nacho, every bag now delivers the same signature crispness with the added benefits of avocado oil.
Why the Switch to Avocado Oil Matters
-
Better-for-you ingredients – Avocado oil contains heart-healthy fats and is a popular alternative to traditional seed oils.
-
Cleaner flavor and crisp texture – The high smoke point helps preserve the authentic corn taste without leaving a greasy aftertaste.
-
Premium snacking experience – The upgrade reflects a growing demand for higher-quality snacks that don’t sacrifice flavor.
A Premium Chip Rooted in Authentic Tradition
Xochitl has built its reputation on crafting tortilla chips inspired by traditional Mexican techniques. Since the brand was founded in 1995, its focus has remained the same: thin, crispy chips made with simple ingredients and authentic recipes.
What makes Xochitl unique is its commitment to small-batch production. Every chip is made in-house, ensuring consistent quality and that signature light crunch fans love. The chips are noticeably thinner than many traditional tortilla chips, creating a delicate texture that practically melts in your mouth.
By transitioning to avocado oil, the brand is reinforcing that commitment to authenticity. The avocado itself is deeply rooted in Mexican culinary traditions, making it a natural fit for Xochitl’s heritage-inspired approach to snacking.
The Rise of Better-For-You Snacks
Snack shoppers are paying closer attention to ingredient lists than ever before. Consumers want foods that are not only delicious but also made with cleaner, more recognizable ingredients.
Avocado oil has quickly become a popular choice in the food world because of its nutritional profile and versatility in cooking. Compared to many traditional frying oils, it offers heart-healthy fats and a higher smoke point, which helps maintain flavor and texture during cooking.
For tortilla chips specifically, this means a more natural taste and a crisp bite that doesn’t feel overly heavy or oily. As better-for-you snacking continues to grow, brands like Xochitl are helping lead the shift toward smarter ingredient choices.
New Flavors Bring Bold Energy to the Lineup
Alongside the transition to avocado oil, Xochitl is also expanding its flavor lineup with two exciting new varieties: Spicy Lime and Nacho.
Spicy Lime delivers a vibrant combination of citrus brightness and warm chili heat. The flavor hits with a refreshing tang first, followed by a subtle kick that keeps you reaching back into the bag.
The new Nacho flavor brings a modern Mexican twist to a familiar favorite. Layered with cheesy goodness over Xochitl’s signature light crunch, it’s a bold take on a classic snack profile that pairs perfectly with dips or stands strong on its own.
The Classic Flavors Fans Already Love
While new flavors are exciting, Xochitl hasn’t forgotten the fan favorites that built its reputation. The brand’s core lineup continues to feature beloved classics like Sea Salt, The Dipper, Organic White Corn, Organic Blue Corn, and No Salt.
Sea Salt remains a standout for its simple yet satisfying flavor that lets the corn shine through. Meanwhile, The Dipper is designed with entertaining in mind, offering a slightly sturdier chip perfect for scooping salsas, guacamole, or queso.
For shoppers seeking organic options, the Organic White Corn and Organic Blue Corn varieties offer the same signature thin texture with high-quality organic ingredients. Together, these options ensure there’s a perfect chip for every snacking occasion.
