Tortilla has launched its new 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.<\/p>\n
Situated on the border between Mexico and California, Tijuana sits at the crossroads of the two cultures that inspire Tortilla’s California-style Mexican food, making the Caesar salad a fitting inspiration for the brand’s latest summer launch.<\/p>\n
Inspired by the classic Caesar but given a distinctly 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.<\/p>\n
At the centre of the range is Tortilla’s own Cali Caesar dressing, made fresh in-house every day. Creamy, tangy and savoury, with a subtle smoky finish, it delivers the signature flavour that brings the Cali Caesar menu together.<\/p>\n
Joining the line-up is Tortilla’s new Hibiscus Lemonade, a vibrant pink drink blending floral hibiscus and citrus lemon. Designed to complement the Cali Caesar range, it’s a crisp and refreshing addition to the Summer Edit.<\/p>\n
To celebrate the launch, Tortilla will take its Summer Edit to the streets of London with a food truck activation on 6 June, handing out around free Cali Caesar Wraps and Hibiscus Lemonade from a fully branded summer truck at Clapham Common from midday.\u00a0The launch will also be supported by an exclusive Burrito Society loyalty offer running from 2-9 June, where members can enjoy a free Hibiscus Lemonade when purchasing a Cali Caesar Wrap or Cali Caesar Salad.<\/p>\n
James, Food Director at Tortilla, said: \u201cCaesar 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cali Caesar range takes everything people love about a classic Caesar and layers in the flavours we’re known for, from smoky chorizo and tortilla chips, to a house-made Cali Caesar dressing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlongside that, we’ve introduced a vibrant new Hibiscus Lemonade to bring a burst of colour and refreshment to the menu. Together, it’s a summer line-up that’s fresh, vibrant and made for the season. We’re really proud of this menu and it\u2019s become a firm favourite with everyone who’s tried it.\u201d<\/p>\n
