ON THE HUNT FOR A FLAWLESS TACO
The quest for the perfect taco can be never-ending, but that’s the fun of it! There’s something magical about the perfect taco, with its perfect balance of tangy, spicy, crunchy, and savory flavors all wrapped in a tortilla. It’s no wonder tacos have become weeknight go-tos and restaurant favorites alike. However, creating tacos that stand out requires more than just good fillings. It demands bold, authentic flavors that surprise and delight with every bite!
That’s where Custom Culinary® comes in! With our ready-to-use sauces and broths, it’s easier than ever to bring the rich tradition of Latin flavors to your menu. Think shrimp tacos with a splash of True Foundations® Tomatillo Serrano Sauce for a bright, zesty kick. Or the irresistible depth of trending Birria Tacos made simple with our True Foundations® Birria Broth, perfect for dipping and savoring. And don’t forget the bold, citrus-forward heat of our True Foundations® Latin-Style Citrus Chili Sauce, or the savory-sweet punch of True Foundations® Al Pastor Sauce that transforms pork, chicken, or even veggies into something unforgettable.
Latin cuisine continues to captivate the hearts and stomachs of America’s patrons, thanks to a mouthwatering balance of spicy, tangy, and tart flavors. By pairing those authentic tastes with the approachable, shareable appeal of tacos, you’re creating more than just a meal; you’re delivering an experience!
