Ortega Reimagines Taco Night with Cheez-It Flavored Taco Shells

Ortega, a leading brand of Mexican food products including taco shells, taco kits, Mexican seasonings, peppers and the number-one-selling brand of taco sauce in the United States, announced today the launch of Cheez-It Flavored Taco Shells – a revolutionary taco shell that fuses the cheesy burst of flavor of Cheez-It crackers that you crave with the iconic crunch of the Ortega Hard Taco Shell. A snackable shell that’s as flavorful as the fillings inside, the Ortega Cheez-It Flavored Taco Shells are available at retailers nationwide on Sept. 28.

“We’ve always believed that taco night should be anything but ordinary,” said Chris Kirwin, Brand Director of B&G Foods. “With the Ortega Cheez-It Flavored Taco Shell, we’ve created a delicious shell that’s not just a vessel for the inside of a taco, but a flavor experience in itself that taco and snack enthusiasts alike will love.”

Crafted for taco lovers and snack fanatics alike, Ortega Cheez-It Flavored Taco Shells deliver a craveable experience that’s just as satisfying straight from the box as it is loaded with fillings. Every bite starts with a bold burst of cheesy flavor and ends with Ortega’s signature crunch that’s perfect for mealtime or snack time.

Ortega Cheez-It Flavored Taco Shells are available at Target and select retailers nationwide. Distribution will expand to include additional grocery stores in the coming months.
