Old El Paso is introducing a new way for people to experience its DIY taco kits with an infusion of globally inspired flavors. According to the brand, the new offerings put a global take on the classic taco flavors with fusions inspired by the Caribbean, Japan and Korea.
In every World Taco Kit, there are 10 flour tortillas, a seasoning packet and a sauce packet, to which a few fresh additions and toppings can be added based on a person's preferences. While the Caribbean Jerk taco kit pairs a medium pineapple pepper sauce with a mild jerk seasoning mix, the Japanese Teriyaki kit focuses on honey soy and teriyaki flavors. To round out the new World Taco Kits, there's also a Korean BBQ set with medium sesame chile sauce and a mild Korean barbecue seasoning mix.
