Lightly salted tortillas exist for one purpose: to not get in the way of whatever you’re dipping them in.
M&S understands this brief. These are restrained, almost minimal, providing corn crunch and nothing else. The salt is there but subtle, enhancing rather than flavouring.
For dip-focused snacking, the restraint is correct. You taste the guacamole, the salsa, the hummus, whatever you’re using. The tortilla provides texture and transport without competing.
For solo eating, these are boring. Intentionally, necessarily boring. That’s not a criticism. It’s an acknowledgment of purpose.
Judge these on their intended use. As dip vehicles, they’re excellent. As standalone snacks, they’re not trying to be standalone snacks.
Purpose-built. Purpose-achieved.
