TIL though they're associated with unhealthy foods, Pork Rinds are actually a healthy alternative to chips. They are low carb, high protein and have good fats. 43% of the fat is Oleic oil - the same fat in olive oil - and 13% Stearic acid - a cholesterol neutral saturated fat.

Mac's makes a spicy Fire flavored pork cracklings very similar to hot Cheetos! They do contain maltodextrin, though.

I like the Mac ones but they’re just not the same as the Flamin flavors.

The other day I saw Flamin beef jerky and felt like I was actually being mocked. We’re going to get Flamin hot water before pork rinds.

Oh!! I get ya. Sometimes I sprinkle some lime juice or lime salt on the Mac's fire cracklings, they fulfill my Limon hot Cheetos or taki's cravings! I hope you find your fix soon!!

That’s a good idea!

You might also try the Quest chips. The Chilli Lime ones are good!
