Unknown textured lumpy bit in my Doritos

My daughter and myself are massive fans of Doritos, however, today we've opened a new packet of the Chili Heatwave. My daughter said she bit into something that was rather chewy and soft which was obviously not a crisp/tortilla. It made her feel sick! I put it on a tissue to take a picture and it was even giving off an orangey or greasy substance. I took pictures of it, and I must admit it looked rather disgusting. Very disappointed.
