Cherry Hill, New Jersey-based Real Good Foods has launched a new range of retail frozen food products, Crispy Chicken Shell Tacos, at approximately 3,500 Walmart locations across the United States. Three varieties are available in 7 oz (198g) twin-packs: Seasoned Beef & Cheddar Cheese; Pulled Chicken with Cheddar & Monterey Jack Cheeses; and Shredded Chicken with Cacique Oaxaca & Cotija Cheeses topped with Cacique Avocado Tomatillo Salsa.
The Cacique Crispy Chicken Shell Taco was made in cooperation with Cacique Foods, the leading brand of Hispanic cheeses, creams, chorizos, salsas and dips.
The tacos are 100% grain-free and gluten-free, have only two grams of net carbs, and contain 25 grams of protein per serving. Real Good Foods does not use processed flours or grains to produce taco shells, but instead uses chicken and cheese.
“These tacos are the result of our collaboration with Walmart, where we challenged ourselves to create an item that is craveable and new to the world. A grain-free, low-carb chicken shell taco was not an easy product design, and I am proud of our talented team that worked hard to make this possible,” said Bryan Freeman, executive chairman of the company. “Unlike other food options on shelves today that are made with processed grains and loaded with carbohydrates, our nutritious tacos have a limited amount of carbs and are loaded with protein.”
“Cacique is excited to partner with Real Good Foods and combine efforts to bring exceptional food experiences to our consumers,” said Gil de Cardenas, chief executive officer of Cacique Foods. “The expansion into a new category at Walmart provides shoppers another way to enjoy our authentic products.”
