Valeo Foods UK’s Kettle Chips brand has expanded into the tortilla chip category with the launch of Kettle Tortillas in the UK.

The range includes three flavours: Mature Cheddar & Red Onion, Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream and Sea Salt & Black Pepper. Each variant uses a white corn tortilla base combined with additional ingredients such as quinoa, seeds or vegetables, depending on the flavour.

Mature Cheddar & Red Onion combines white corn with red quinoa, onion and herbs, finished with a cheddar and onion seasoning. Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream includes red pepper, pumpkin and linseeds, paired with a chilli and sour cream seasoning. Sea Salt & Black Pepper features a base made with black beans, millet, linseeds and sunflower seeds.

Michael Inpong, chief marketing officer at Valeo Foods UK, said: “We’re excited to announce the launch of the new Kettle Tortillas, which bring everything consumers love about our iconic hand-cooked potato chips to the tortilla category".

"Whether it’s Kettle’s bold crunch or real food ingredients, these are tortillas elevated to a gourmet level – perfect for dipping, sharing or enjoying straight from the bag during those moments that deserve a little something extra.”

The products are available in 140g packs and are HFSS compliant.

Kettle Tortillas are available in Morrisons and Waitrose, with an RRP of £2.65.
