PepsiCo-owned Tostitos has expanded its US portfolio with a limited-edition tortilla chip flavour and two refrigerated guacamole dips ahead of the 2026 NFL season.

Launching nationwide on 9 August, the new spicy queso blanco-flavoured tortilla chips combine queso cheese flavour with peppers and spices. The product will be sold in 11oz bags for a limited time.

The following day, Tostitos will enter the refrigerated aisle for the first time with its Chunky Guacamole range. Available in mild and medium hint of lime varieties, the dips are made with Hass avocados, onions, tomatoes and jalapeño peppers.

Denise Truelove, senior vice president of marketing at PepsiCo Foods North America, said: "At Tostitos, we know some of life's best moments happen when people come together around great food. Our new limited time offering flavour, Spicy Queso Blanco, puts a bold spin on the iconic chips-and-queso pairing."
