Ortega Tacos: there's nothing better or more recognizable as you walk down the grocery isle looking for something tasty in the Mex-American way, with the very familiar blue box color stuffed with some real sweet hard taco shells, soft taco kits, and sauce/salsa! Sometimes I just have to have that crunch doused with all of my favorite toppings. It's a craving, man and Ortega delivers :)
Ortega is personally one of my favorites when it comes to the brand's taco sauce and salsa! This stuff is awesome on tacos & burritos. I also use the sauce and salsa on scrambled egg wraps, but that's another story!

As a topping for Ortega tacos, I stand by sour cream, but only good quality sour cream and especially if it's augmented with some serious stir in that infuses it with taste that will knock your socks off! Hidden Valley dips does just that. Just add one pack to a 16-ounce tub of Kemps sour cream and mix well. Congrats, you just turned plain sour cream into a gourmet topping!

As for the meat, I reiterate what I said about the two different types of ground beef to use (See Old El Paso Tacos). You don't have to stick with ground beef, though. Other options are fish, ground turkey, or ground chicken.

Ordering:
With inflation running amok with food, fuel and everything else resembling one of those heart monitors; zig, zag, up then down, I really stand on "real time pricing". What is "real time pricing"? It means I'm actually in the store calculating true prices on your order.
That's right, a real human being making it happen for you. Prices you see on Food Run Fix are close estimates and not guaranteed to be absolute because they change every day, so I have to comb the grocery lanes, see what they got, see the prices, pick the products and give you the shout out! Just like if you were shopping yourself. Simply add your items to the cart.
Paying:
Don't pay anything, regardless of what you see in the cart until I send you the actual invoiced bill of the real time prices, sales tax and my delivery fee, right from the store. You also get the receipt; everything is open and upfront.
Lastly, remember that I am working for you! If there is anything you need to change last minute, you have my number (608) 214-8758 and email, rex@foodrunfix.com. No worries ;)
