My own corn chip seasoning and method of evenly coating the chips. I like very hot and heavily seasoned chips which you apparently cannot buy in the US. I've tried them all, NONE are actually hot. Probably because corporate attorneys are afraid of some poor sucker choking and gagging on their product, much like I do on my own formulation.
It's also nice knowing exactly what goes into it, and that it won't turn my tongue red from the artificial dyes.
The recipe varies, but generally lots of cajun/taco like seasonings with an absurd pile of cayenne pepper, some MSG, citric acid, and a huge amount of nutritional yeast, like half by weight. Salt too, but be aware that the chips may already have salt. Powder it super fine in a spice mill, pour in a large ziplock bag with plain corn chips, shake or tumble until coated. Let sit for a few hours in the bag so the oils from the chips adhere to the seasonings. Tumble again for a thicker coating.
