In nearly 50 years, Tostitos has never sold guacamole. That changes this August.
The brand that built its identity around salsa and queso is finally entering the refrigerator aisle with its first-ever Chunky Guacamole — a mild, hint-of-lime dip made with Hass avocados, onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, and spices, with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Launching alongside it: a new Spicy Queso Blanco tortilla chip and the return of limited-edition NFL Team Bags just in time for football season.
Why Tostitos Never Sold Guacamole Before
The absence of guacamole from Tostitos’ lineup wasn’t an oversight — it was chemistry. Salsa and queso are shelf-stable. Guacamole isn’t. Keeping avocados fresh without artificial preservatives or a tongue-tingling chemical reaction requires refrigeration, which is why most store-bought guacs either spoil quickly or contain additives that alter the texture and taste.
Tostitos’ solution is straightforward: go refrigerated. The new Chunky Guacamole lives in the refrigerator aisle alongside fresh dips and hummus — not the chip aisle — and is made with Hass avocados, onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, and spices, finished with lime. No artificial ingredients. Non-GMO Project Verified, vegan, kosher, and gluten-free.
The Three Sizes
Tostitos Chunky Guacamole: Mild, Hint of Lime will be available at select retailers nationwide this August in three formats:
- 8-oz — for smaller gatherings or household dipping
- 15-oz — the party size
- Six-count 2-oz single-serve cups — tailgate-ready, no double-dipping required
The New Chip: Spicy Queso Blanco
Alongside the guacamole debut, Tostitos is releasing a new limited-time Spicy Queso Blanco tortilla chip — a white corn tortilla chip seasoned with zesty queso flavors, savory cheese notes, and spicy pepper heat. It’s essentially the chip-and-dip experience in one, and it hits shelves in 11-oz bags this August.
For game day spreads, pairing the Spicy Queso Blanco chips with the new Chunky Guacamole creates an interesting contrast — the heat of the chip against the mild, creamy cool of the guac.
The Return of NFL Team Bags
Tostitos is also bringing back its popular limited-edition NFL Team Bags — select Tostitos tortilla chip bags printed with NFL team logos for the football season. Teams including the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers have already been confirmed for the packaging lineup.
The Bottom Line
Tostitos Chunky Guacamole and Spicy Queso Blanco tortilla chips both arrive at select retailers in August. The guacamole is the bigger story — a first-ever product for the brand in nearly five decades — and the kind of launch that quietly completes the salsa-queso-guac trifecta that chip fans have been buying from three separate brands for years. For your next tailgate, it’s all Tostitos.
