The hot foods sold at convenience stores are popular for a reason, why is why Jose Ole has added microwaveable Rolled Tacos to its [frozen foods lineup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tastiez). Just like the kind you would find in your average convince store, the tacos are specially designed to be enjoyed on the go.

According to Jose Ole, the new Rolled Tacos are larger and crispier than other frozen varieties you'd find on the market. This is thanks to a special cooking sleeve, which takes the tacos from frozen to crispy after just a few minutes in the microwave. Beyond the [crispy taco shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-quesadillas), the new products also boast a generous filling in flavors such as Seasoned Beef, [Shredded Chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herdez-al-pastor-seasoned-shredded-pork), Loaded Beef Nacho, or Queso Chicken Nacho.
