Taco Cabana is gearing up for the holiday season with the launch of its new Spicy Pork Flautas and new Oreo Churros.
For those unfamiliar, a flauta consists of a large, burrito-size or quesadilla-size flour tortilla that's filled with toppings and then rolled up tightly. Taco Cabana's new Spicy Pork Flautas feature a blend of pork and Guajillo peppers, and some in both three and six-packs. The flautas are also served with your choice of two dipping sauces, and fans have the option to add Taco Cabana's signature queso, sour cream and/or guacamole for just a little an extra kick of flavor.
And if you're looking for something sweet to cap off your meal, the new Oreo Churros are just the ticket. As the brand' puts it these "churros pack all the craveability of an Oreo® cookie in five bite-size pieces."
