Product Review: H.E.B. Multigrain Taco Shells

 


H.E.B Multigrain Taco Shells

Crunchy taco shells -- I often see debates about crunchy tacos vs. soft tacos. (That would be a good topic for another blog post.) Personally, I love them all. Sometimes I crave crunchy; sometimes soft. It just depends on mood and ingredients on hand. 

These H.E.B. taco shells hit all of the right notes if you are craving crunchy tacos. They have a great corn flavor, and a nice crunch. Some of the other crunchy taco shells available from other companies often fall short on flavor. Sometimes the shells are just too thick too. 

But not H.E.B.'s taco shells. They are just right. The product featured in the photo above is made with "H.E.B. Select Ingredients." The Select Ingredients line was introduced in 2016, and they pledged to have 400 Select Ingredients products available for purchase in their stores by the end of that year. I'm sure there are many more now. 

According to H.E.B, the Select Ingredient products omit the use of HFCS (high-fructose corn syrup), artificial flavors, and synthetic ingredients. I believe them. The flavor of these taco shells speaks for itself. 

The price is right for these tacos if you are planning a party. The only drawback I have experienced thus far are the breakage points. The embedded flax seeds cause these shells to fracture differently than regular shells. Sometimes several fractures occur and the resulting pieces are smaller. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. The smaller pieces are more convenient when you go in for the grand finale to enjoy that "taco salad" left on your plate after you finish your tacos. 😆

Here's the front of the box these shells were packed in, plus the sides with nutritional info: 






Happy Eating!
