There are giveaway offers to mark the launch
Tortilla has launched a Summer Edit inspired by one of Mexico’s best-kept culinary secrets – the Caesar salad. While many people associate Caesar salad with Italy, the iconic dish was actually created by restaurateur Caesar Cardini in Tijuana, Mexico in 1924.
Inspired by the classic Caesar but given a Tortilla twist, the new Cali Caesar range features a Cali Caesar Wrap and Cali Caesar Salad. The range combines extra asado chicken, smoky chorizo, Monterey Jack cheese, crushed tortilla chips, fresh lime, cos lettuce and Tortilla’s new house-made Cali Caesar dressing made fresh in-house every day.
Joining the line-up is Tortilla’s new Hibiscus Lemonade, a pink drink blending hibiscus and lemon.
To celebrate the launch, Tortilla will take its Summer Edit to the streets of London with a food truck on June 6, handing out free Cali Caesar Wraps and Hibiscus Lemonade at Clapham Common from midday.
The launch will also be supported by an exclusive Burrito Society loyalty offer running from June 2 to 9, where members can enjoy a free Hibiscus Lemonade when purchasing a Cali Caesar Wrap or Cali Caesar Salad.
James, Food Director at Tortilla, said: “Caesar wraps have become one of the biggest food trends of the year, but what many people don’t realise is that the Caesar salad actually has Mexican roots. It was born in Tijuana, right on the border between Mexico and California, so it felt like a natural fit for Tortilla. We loved the story behind it and saw an opportunity to put our own spin on a genuine culinary icon.
“The Cali Caesar range takes everything people love about a classic Caesar and layers in the flavours we’re known for.
