Ortega Reimagines Taco Night with Cheez-It™ Flavored Taco Shells
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 6, 2025 - 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 September 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 all Stop & Shop and select Target locations nationwide, and retail for $2.79. Distribution will expand to include additional grocery stores in the coming months.
