PARSIPPANY, N.J., July 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ortega, the
brand of popular Mexican food products including taco shells, taco
kits, Mexican seasonings and the number-one-selling taco sauce in
the United States, spices up store
shelves nationwide starting in June with the debut of two new
must-try product lines: Ortega Good Grains Taco Shells, taco
shells with unique, on-trend ingredients baked right into the
shell, and Ortega Crispy Taco Toppers, crunchy toppings that
add bold flavor to any dish.
An alternative to the traditional corn shell, Ortega Good
Grains Taco Shells are elevating the taco shell category, crafted
with artisanal blends of real corn, unique grains and thoughtful
ingredients baked into, and clearly visible within, each shell.
Ortega Good Grains Taco Shells are made with whole kernel
corn, giving them an authentic taste and a distinctive flavor,
aroma and texture. Available in four different varieties—Blue Corn,
White Corn with Chia Seeds, Yellow
Corn & Ancient Grains and Whole Grain & Lentil—there's a
flavor for every palate. Ortega Good Grains Taco Shells are
available in packs of 10 for a suggested retail price of
$1.99.
"The introduction of Ortega Good Grains Taco Shells
satisfies the growing interest in high quality meal solutions that
are affordable and accessible," said Haven Cockerham, vice
president and general manager at B&G Foods. "From moms to
millennials, consumers want great taste at a reasonable price. They
also want to feel good about the ingredients of the food that they
are bringing into their homes."
For anyone looking to ramp up the flavor of their favorite
dishes, Ortega Crispy Taco Toppers provide a bold kick with
every bite. Available in Jalapeño and Onion varieties, they boast
real jalapeño and onion slices lightly breaded and fried for a
crunchy finish. The versatile toppers can be added to tacos, salads
and burgers or enjoyed on their own as a zesty snack. The suggested
retail price for a 3.5 oz. re-sealable pouch is $2.79.
"The launch of Ortega Good Grains Taco Shells and Crispy
Taco Toppers represents Ortega's commitment to creating
innovative products that help bring families together around the
dinner table," added Cockerham.
