I really enjoy snacking on Fritos Corn Chips and Bean Dip, but I have resolved to keep away from them because I am cutting back on fat and calories.

I am fortunate that my system does not suffer any bad effects from potato chips cooked in Olestra, and to me, they taste just as good while having half the calories and no fat or cholesterol.

But I still miss my corn chips, but have been unable to find any brand that sells a corn chip cooked in Olestra. Does anybody know of one and where they are sold? It seems strange that there are a few potato chips made this way, but I can’t find Frito-style corn chips.

According to the Frito Lay web site, they have an olestra corn chip in their [Tostitos](http://www.fritolay.com/fl/flstore/cgi-bin/products_light.htm) line. Not Fritos (which are like crack, IMO – I can snarf down a whole bag), but it may be the best you can do.
