Kroger offers the ultimate Flamin’ Hot Doritos sushi mashup

As flavor lovers know, the Flamin' Hot flavor has take over the snack food conversation. Now the popular Doritos Flamin’ Hot flavor has sprinkled its goodness in a new sushi roll available exclusively at Kroger.

When two popular foods find a way to intertwine themselves, it often results in a flavor that is totally irresistible. The crossover appeals not only to the core food segment, but it also appeals to the person to craves culinary creativity.

Doritos have been more than just another snack in the bag. Beyond the walking taco, those broken pieces have brought texture to a myriad of recipes. Never is a chip wasted.

Adding Doritos to sushi is an interesting concept. While there have been Flamin' Hot Cheetos dusted sushi, this idea takes the flavor in a new direction. Not only does it add texture but it also adds another layer of flavor and a creative visual.

The special Kroger offering is Doritos Flamin’ Hot Limon Shrimp Tempura Sushi Roll. According to Kroger, the sushi roll features: “crispy shrimp tempura, spicy crab, cucumber, and avocado wrapped into Doritos iconic triangle shape with seaweed and sushi rice and coated with crunchy Doritos Flamin’ Hot Limón Flavored Tortilla Chips.” The roll is topped with both a spicy sriracha sauce and a sweet sushi sauce.

The combination of tempura and crunchy chips makes each bite feel hearty. Even after a few bites, it feels like a full meal.

The use of cucumber helps to break through the robust flavors. It is a punch of brightness that is needed to keep everything in balance. Additionally, the avocado ties everything together. Creamy, slightly fatty, makes going in for a third, or fourth piece, quite easy.

For a little whimsical moment, the triangle shape is a nice nod to Doritos. The snack brand has leveraged its shape in other pop culture moments. Using it in a sushi roll is a quite smart choice.

The Kroger exclusive Doritos Flamin’ Hot Limon Shrimp Tempura Sushi Roll is available at 1,600 Kroger locations across the U.S. Made fresh daily, the sushi can be purchased in stores or via DoorDash, UberEats, and InstaCart.
