WORLD foods brand, Old El Paso has added a Smoky BBQ version to its tortilla pockets range.
Since launching last summer, the brand reports, the Old El Paso Tortilla Pockets range has driven 13% of all value growth in Mexican food sales over the last year.
Marketing manager for meals & baking at brand owner General Mills, Maeve Judge said: “Old El Paso Smoky BBQ is the number one flavour in Mexican and chicken is a family favourite protein.
“We’re excited to combine the flavour profile with our tortilla pockets, to offer even more convenient, customisable options for family favourite dinners.”
