Fajita is a specific flavour profile. Cumin, paprika, garlic, the spice blend that goes on sizzling platters in Mexican restaurants. Hippeas attempts to capture this on chickpea puffs.
The attempt is reasonably successful. The cumin registers. The paprika provides warmth. Something approaching fajita character emerges, recognisable to anyone who’s eaten Tex-Mex.
The chickpea base interacts oddly with the Mexican spicing. Legume and cumin create unexpected combinations. Whether these work depends on palate and expectation.
“Far Out” is brand-consistent countercultural naming. The fajita flavour is more conventional than the branding suggests.
For fajita-flavour fans wanting protein snacks, these exist. The combination is unusual but functional.
