Sliders are such a popular trend, and now with our mini taco shells, taking advantage of this trend at home will be easier than ever. Consumers won’t have to limit themselves and their taco fillings, with a smaller shell there's more opportunity to mix and match to create the ultimate taco experience.”

Made with yellow corn masa flour, palm oil, canola oil, water and salt, each serving of four shells contains 140 calories, the company said.
