We are having a taco spread for the big game this weekend. Shrimp tacos with a spicy, creamy green chile salsa dolloped over plump shrimp, seasoned with Ortega Taco Seasoning Mix. Make plenty for your guests and serve them with your favorite taco toppings. Ortega diced jalapeños and fire roasted green chilies are perfect for this creamy tomatillo salsa. They are the right amount of flavor, spice and smokiness to this tangy sauce. Enjoy it on your tacos, quesadillas or scoop it up with tortilla chips. You and your game day guests will love it. Want to prepare them with flour tortillas? Try Ortega® Flour tortillas. They are great for tacos, burritos, fajitas, wraps and quesadillas.
