The Real Good Food Company has launched new cheesy burritos with chunks of chicken breast and low-carb tortillas. Real Good Foods’ burritos are made using chunks of antibiotic-free chicken breast and pepper jack and cheddar cheeses, seasoned with a hint of lime and cilantro and hand-rolled into a low-carb flour tortilla. Bryan Freeman, executive chairman of Real Good Foods, said: “I’m proud of our team for creating these delicious burritos — that have 1/3 the carbs and 2x the protein of conventional burritos available today in retail grocery and club stores. Unlike other burritos, ours are loaded with chunks of chicken breast and natural cheeses, fresh cilantro and sauces and a proprietary low carb tortilla, vs other burritos, mostly made up of low-value ingredients like rice and beans and carb-heavy tortillas." He continued: "Providing such a delicious item to the perimeter of the store is a great opportunity for us to introduce our low-carb, high-protein foods to a new audience. We believe this will get us closer to achieving our mission to help millions of people live a healthier lifestyle by reducing the amount of sugar and carbohydrates in their diet.” The burritos are currently available in the club channel and will roll out in grocery stores in the coming months.
