No mess Mex takes off

From now on, there’ll be no mess with Old El Paso™! The new tortilla with a practical base takes eating fajitas to a new level. The pocket can be filled quickly with the ingredients, without having to skimp. The closed base means that nothing leaks out while eating. A perfect mouth-landing every time!

As the tortilla pockets are already pre-shaped, the ingredients are not rolled in, as usual, but filled in a number of ways: either the desired ingredients can be layered or the meat, vegetables and toppings can be combined first and then filled into the pocket. Both options are very easy and suitable for the whole family. But Fajita Friday is not the only day to serve these tortilla pockets. Whether for breakfast, lunch or to go, these tortillas are always great and make any meal a mess-free fiesta.

The history of Old El Paso™

It all started in 1917 when the Powell family founded the Mountain Pass Canning Company in New Mexico in order to produce beans and canned chilli. In 1920, the family opened another factory in the town of El Paso, Texas, where they produced canned tomatoes and other items. The name Old El Paso™ was not registered as a brand until 18 years later. Today, Old El Paso™ is one of the global market leaders for Mexican food, including in the US, Australia, Canada, the UK and France. Old El Paso has had a presence in Germany and Switzerland for decades and belongs to the American food producer General Mills. The recipes are inspired by original Mexican recipes.
