This New Doritos Snack Just Landed at Costco
If you're a Doritos lover trying to eat a little better in 2026, Costco just made the snack aisle a lot more exciting.
Doritos Protein, a bold new version of the classic tortilla chip that packs 10 grams of protein per serving, about five times more than original Nacho Cheese Doritos, has been spotted in warehouses.
Check out this April 28 TikTok from @costcoexperts:

The 12.8-ounce bag is priced at $5.89. The new chips keep the iconic bold flavor and crunchy texture everyone knows and loves, and are made without artificial colors, artificial flavors, or MSG.
According to PepsiCo, the launch reflects a push into more protein-focused snacks while still keeping Doritos' signature flavor front and center.
What Makes Doritos Protein Chips Different?
Unlike the classic version, which contains around 2 grams of protein per serving, Doritos Protein delivers 10 grams. The protein itself comes from dairy-based casein, which is listed as the first ingredient. It's expected to roll out in multiple sizes, including a single-serve option with 17 grams of protein planned for later this year.
The lineup launches with two flavors. The Nacho Cheese sticks with the brand's best-selling, classic cheesy seasoning. There's also Sweet & Tangy BBQ, though it has not been spotted at Costco yet and is expected to roll out more broadly this year. Doritos describes that flavor as "a bold experience that elevates traditional BBQ flavor with sweetness, complex spices, and tanginess."
New items like this don't always hit every Costco location at once, so availability can vary by warehouse. Sightings like the one on TikTok are typically the first sign of a wider rollout, and you can use the Costco app (item #2041812) to check availability near you.
If you're looking for a more protein-forward chip, Doritos Protein brings a fun option with a nostalgic feel. It's a way to enjoy one of America's most popular flavors while getting a little more out of your snack.
If you're a Costco regular, this is one to watch for on your next trip.
