As I have previously stated salted flavoured snacks are my favourite due to my totally unhealthy love of the taste of salt. Tortillas are also my favourite snack because I love the thick, crunchy texture and large triangular shape. M&S products are usually of a really decent quality and so when I saw that they had released these lightly salted multispeed tortillas as a part of their eat well range I couldn't wait to try them. These are baked not fried and the inclusion of multi-seeds makes me think that these may have some kind of nutritional value (although this may just be wish full thinking).
The size of the bag was quite large yet when I opened it (as I have come to expect nowadays), the bag was half empty. Initially I was a bit let down but then I saw that there was actually quite a generous portion inside, I was just deceived by the large bag. The tortillas were all pretty large and some were curled but I wouldn't say that they looked any different to a typical (less healthy) bag of tortillas.
I bit into the crisps and they had the perfect amount of crispiness. They were crunchy and texturally really impressive but for my personal tastes, the flavour let these down and they ended up tasting a bit bland. There was a slight buttery element to the tortillas that stopped them from being a complete let down, however I cant honestly say that I don't think that these could have done with a good hit more of salt. I openly admit that I like salty snacks waaay too much and so if you like a very subtle salty flavour then you will probably enjoy these. For me personally these were a decent snack but a little too plain and although the packet states that they are "lightly" salted, I feel that a dash more salt would have made these a new favourite of mine.
