90-Second Side Dishes

La Tortilla Factory's Authentic Mexican Side Dishes are Microwavable

— October 13, 2020 — Lifestyle
Preparing a well-rounded meal in a matter of minutes is easier than ever thanks to La Tortilla Factory's new Authentic Mexican Side Dishes, which are packaged in microwaveable pouches. Made with better-for-you ingredients, the trio of side dishes are available in varieties like Ancho Rice and Beans, Brown Rice and Quinoa and Mexican-style Black Beans, which can be prepared in about 90 seconds.

La Tortilla Factory was inspired to create these flavorful Mexican-inspired side dishes based on the patterns it saw in consumers' mindful eating habits and preference for authentic flavors. Notably, all of the side dishes are vegetarian-friendly, preservative-free and gluten-free, plus they naturally pair well with La Tortilla Factory's own tortillas to create flavorful meals any time of the week.
