Wahaca to launch Soft Taco Kits and Mexican street food ingredients range at Tesco
The brand will launch a new food product range, developed by Wahaca co-founder and MasterChef winner Thomasina Miers and her team, in partnership with All About Food.
The new Soft Taco Kits and Mexican ingredients range will give customers the opportunity to experience a taste of Wahaca’s authentic Mexican street food at home.
With the new Wahaca Soft Taco Kits and product range launching exclusively in up to 900 Tesco stores from 25th July (and via www.tesco.com/wahaca), as well as in selected Wahaca restaurants, Mexican food lovers nationwide can now also enjoy its great flavours at home.
Designed to be authentic and simple to use, the new Wahaca Soft Taco Kits are suitable for everyone who wants to make Mexican street food at home. With tortillas, marinade and a delicious salsa included in each kit, all that’s needed to add is a choice of meat, fish or veg and a splash of oil to create a taco in 30 minutes or less.
The full product range includes three different varieties of Soft Taco Kit (RRP £3.69), each varying in its level of heat, ranging from mild to hot, with flavours to suit all tastes. For those looking for a mild option, the ‘Tomatillo & garlic mojo’ kit comes with a garlic and chipotle marinade and a tomatillo salsa, making a mild-yet-tasty taco.
The ‘Tomato & smoky chipotle’ kit, contains a smoked tomato and chipotle marinade and chipotle salsa.
The third option is the ‘Fiery habanero & achiote’. This kit provides maximum heat and makes good use of the habanero chilli, which is similar in flavour to the more commonly known scotch bonnet chilli. This kit combines the vibrant, brick red achiote marinade used in some of Wahaca’s dishes, with the habanero chilli salsa.
The range also includes a collection of individual ingredients, available to purchase separately. This includes both the ‘Tomato & smoky chipotle’, and ‘Garlic & chipotle’ marinades (RRP £1), as well as the two 'Tomatillo’ and ‘Chipotle’ salsas’ (RRP £1.79). The flour and yellow corn tortillas are also available separately in a pack of 10 (RRP £1.40). The full range of Mexican ingredients will be available alongside the three Soft Taco Kit options (RRP £3.69).
Miers said, "We are so excited to launch our soft taco kits this month. It has certainly been the year of the taco and so we are thrilled to be able to offer these simple, easy-to-use kits which will allow our customers and loyal fans to create a taste of Mexico in their own home.”
Speaking of the partnership with Wahaca, All About Food’s Senior National Account Manager for Tesco Matthew Davison said: “Working closely with Tesco we identified that customers are getting more adventurous with their cooking and were looking for more authentic flavours from Mexico. We saw this as an opportunity to bring the amazing flavours and vibrancy from Wahaca’s restaurants and the brand into Tesco stores.”
