“The world’s largest convenience store retailer is cranking up the heat this winter with a delicious extension to the popular mini-taco line. To satisfy guests who are watching their dollars and always looking for value, 7-Eleven is offering their famous mini tacos in a new mouthwatering Chicken Chipotle flavor and they are only 55 calories each! Made with juicy shredded chicken, spicy green chilies, minced onions, a hint of garlic and a zesty mix of spices bundled in a mini fresh white corn tortilla – this savory combination is a fiesta for your taste buds!
“Last year, 7-Eleven introduced the Spicy Beef Mini Tacos which have proven to be a crave-able value offering for hungry guests while on the go, making this latest flavorful Latin-inspired Chicken Chipotle version a natural extension for the line. 7-Eleven Mini Tacos are prepared to lock-in flavor and provide an appetizing crunch while giving guests more bang for their buck at four for just $1.”
