- Gran Luchito Hard Shells Taco, make sure to bake them in the oven first for extra crunch.
- Mexican seasoning: Gran Luchito Ancho BBQ Fajita and Taco Mix is all you need.
Guacamole. A fresh garnish is always needed to compliment all the textures. - Salsa, don’t forget salsa! Choose your favourite from Tomatillo, Mango Habanero or Chipotle.
