Unique and slightly sweet tortilla chips!
To see more of my Costco food reviews follow me on Instagram or Facebook and also check out my blog Costcuisine where I review tons of Costco food products each week! Last week I posted a review for the Costco Ferrero Eggs, Costco Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers and Costco Tempo Gin Smash Pack.
Happy Easter weekend everyone! I hope everyone is healthy and doing well. As a nurse I have to say thanks to everyone doing their part to stay home and stop the spread of COVID-19! I know it’s a bit of strange, hard Easter for us all. My husband and I usually go to see both sets of parents and eat tons of delicious homemade food but not this year! This year we’ll have steak for two and probably these Black’s Family Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips I’m reviewing as an appetizer!
Cost
I paid $5.99 Canadian for the 510 gram bag. This seems to be about the average price for chips at Costco so not too expensive, not the cheapest chips either!
Convenience
These are great if you’re looking for a unique flavored tortilla chip to make nachos with or serve at your summer BBQ. They’re sweet and flavorful so you don’t necessarily need dip with them. The bag isn’t resealable and the best before date is about four months from the date I purchased the chips.
Nutrition
So if you buy these hoping they’re a way healthy version of regular tortilla chips, they’re not and they’re also not that healthy for you. 13 chips is 200 calories, 10 grams of fat, three grams of fibre, four grams of sugar, one gram of protein and 160 mg of sodium. They are gluten-free and kosher.
Taste
If you’re a fan of sweet potato anything, such as sweet potato fries or the RW sweet potato crackers you’ll probably like these. They’re definitely a unique flavored tortilla chip and you can tell right away that they’re sweet potato. You have to like sweet potato to enjoy these because they’ve got quite a bit of sweet potato sweetness going on. The sweet flavor compliments the saltiness of the tortilla chips well. They’re very flavorful so can be enjoyed on their own and in my opinion you need to experiment with different dips and salsa to find what works well with these chips, I found that when I paired them with a mild guacamole the sweet potato flavor overpowered the guacamole which seemed to me to be a bit of a waste of delicious guacamole! They do go well with the Garden Fresh Gourmet Mango Peach Salsa because they’re both on the sweet side. Basically these are great for sweet potato lovers but if you don’t like sweet potato you might find these a little too sweet for your liking.
These are a one time purchase for me. I enjoy them enough and will finish the bag but I much prefer the Que Pasa chips from Costco.

What’s your favorite kind of chip to buy from the Costco chip section?!
GREAT REVIEW… and letting people know that they aren’t that healthy for you. Some people just see sweet potato and think that it’ll be healthy and good… not so much.. \thank you
