Frozen food producer Real Good Foods has unveiled the latest addition to its portfolio – crispy chicken shell tacos – available in US Walmart stores. The tacos come in three varieties: seasoned beef and cheddar cheese, pulled chicken with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses and shredded chicken with Cacique Oaxaca & cotija cheeses topped with Cacique avocado tomatillo salsa. Real Good Foods’ tacos are made with nutritious ingredients, are 100% grain- and gluten-free and contain 2g of net carbs as well as 25g of protein per serving. The brand does not use processed flours or grains to produce its taco shells, instead using chicken and cheese. Bryan Freeman, executive chairman of The Real Good Food Company, said: "These tacos are the result of our collaboration with Walmart where we challenged ourselves to create an item that is crave-able 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, dedicated team that worked hard to make this possible." The three varieties of crispy chicken shell tacos are available across approximately 3,500 US Walmart stores nationwide.
