Foodies can’t resist birria, with its rich, flavorful broth, tender meat, and perfectly balanced spices—and for those who lack the long time it takes to put together flavorful meals, Old El Paso introduced its first-ever Birria Taco Kit.
As slow-stewed beef dishes are taking over restaurant menus and social media feeds, Old El Paso introduced a simpler way for families to enjoy birria, even on busy weeknights. This time-saving kit includes 10 soft tortillas, Old El Paso’s signature Tex-Mex seasoning, and a smoky, creamy chipotle sauce to drizzle on top. Families only need to add their choice of meat and toppings for a smoky, bold, and savory experience packed with quality flavors and textures.
