A crowd-pleaser that’s an absolute breeze to put together, and it’s perfect for hungry hands that are in search of a little spice. White triangle tortilla chips are coated with shishito peppers, jalapeños, red onion, and finally drizzled with a gooey white cheddar sauce.
This one is sure to call for a refill request. A classic comfort-food dip comprised of mac-n-cheese, spicy shrimp, aged cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Dijon mustard, and beloved Old Bay seasoning. It’s to-die-for when scooped up with fried, wedged heat pressed flour tortillas.
These handhelds are stuffed with fresh, flavor-packed ingredients like Caribbean Jerk Chicken, pineapples, bell peppers, and caramelized Habanero salsa. The vibrant red from the red corn tortillas also dresses them up as an insta-worthy platter that consumers will be eager to share on socials.
Give vegans and fresh-food lovers alike something to chat about. These fishless vegan tacos are an excellent better-for-you option that works perfectly as a small-plate, appetizer, or main dish. Tortillas are topped with crispy-breaded fishless filets, pineapple Pico, guacamole, cilantro, and lime for a fresh take on the ‘fish’ taco. This dish is a catch.
