California Tortilla launches new taquitos
Back in March, the restaurant chain introduced a new menu item: Taquito Dippers—a perfect duo of crispy, flavorful taquitos available for just $7.95. Taquito Dippers consist of two 6-inch flour tortillas filled with grilled shredded chicken breast, jack cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, green chiles, and spices. You can choose two sauces to dip them in.
