Some south-of-the-border tastes found their ways into new food and beverage launches this week. Lay's moved forward with an expansion of their Tapatio products line, while Casa Herradura rolled out a new port-accented tequila. Here are all the details on those new products and more:
1. ROASTED GARLIC & SEA SALT LAY'S WAVY CHIPS
Company: Frito-Lay North America
Frito-Lay tried out some cheesy garlic bread chips earlier this year, and in honor of National Garlic Day on April 19, the well-known snack-maker is trying out another garlic offering via their Lay's Wavy brand. Roasted garlic and sea salt chips are expected to see a limited stay on shelves, but they should be showing up at retail soon.

Mexican tequila producer Casa Herradura announced a new line of small-batch tequilas, including a Coleccion de la Casa, Reserva 2012, Port Cask Finish release. This particular tequila spends two months in port casks from the renowned Duoro Valley in Portugal, according to the press release.

4. TAPATIO LAY'S CHIPS AND CHEETOS
Company: Frito-Lay North America
Lay's has already spiced up their Doritos and Fritos snacks with Tapatio, and now Lay's chips and Cheetos will get the same treatment. Cheetos will get the hot sauce brand's extra kick, combines with its well-known cheesiness, and Lay's chips will blend the flavor with a citrussy limon sensation.
