Where it comes from
Doritos started in the early 1960s at Casa de Fritos, a restaurant inside Disneyland in California, where leftover tortillas were cut up, fried and seasoned. Arch West, a Frito-Lay marketing executive, noticed how well they sold, and in 1966 Doritos went on sale across the United States, the first tortilla chip sold nationwide. The name plays on the Spanish dorado, golden.
