Tostitos are based on the Mexican-styled tortilla chip; however, the brand is manufactured by an American company, the Frito-Lay company.

Tortilla chips are lower in fat and calories than potato chips, but they're still unhealthy because they're usually fried, according to The Daily Meal. With a serving size of 6 chips, Tostitos Hint of Lime contains 7 grams of fat, 150 calories and 125 milligrams of sodium.

The high level of salt can also contribute to hypotension and heart disease if consumed excessively. Even though Tostitos don't have a lot of chemicals or bad fats, their high carbohydrate content makes them an unwise choice for a routine snack.

The heat also traps tiny pockets of moisture in the dough. Creating little blisters this gives the tortilla chips their trademark bumpy texture from.
