takis

Spicy rolled tortillas

Takis is a brand of rolled corn tortilla chips known for their intense spiciness and tangy flavor, particularly the popular Fuego variety.

The name has become somewhat generic for this style of snack: The kids demolished a bag of Takis after school.

Originally Mexican, Takis gained cult status among American teenagers in the 2010s.
