Tortilla? That's an interesting idea and you are not alone when it comes to tortillas with Mexican food (does such a Mexican meal exist?).

Checking the brands GMK makes, my brand of choice for taco shells is not there--Ortea. Via a sarch, I see Ortega is one of the brands of B&G (BGF and BGS.

From their ernings release the 6th of March:

B&G Foods and its subsidiaries manufacture, sell and distribute a diversified portfolio of high-quality, shelf-stable foods across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. B&G Foods’ products include hot cereals, fruit spreads, canned meats and beans, spices, seasonings, marinades, hot sauces, wine vinegar, maple syrup, molasses, salad dressings, Mexican-style sauces, taco shells and kits, salsas, pickles, peppers and other specialty food products. B&G Foods competes in the retail grocery, food service, specialty, private label, club and mass merchandiser channels of distribution. Based in Parsippany, New Jersey, B&G Foods’ products are marketed under many recognized brands, including Ac’cent, B&G, B&M, Brer Rabbit, Cream of Rice, Cream of Wheat, Emeril’s, Grandma’s Molasses, Joan of Arc, Las Palmas, Maple Grove Farms of Vermont, Ortega, Polaner, Red Devil, Regina, Sa-són, Trappey’s, Underwood, Vermont Maid and Wright’s.

Without doing a bit of investigating, I am not sure why B&G trades under two symbols, but both are climbing back up since the earnings release:

In terms of one of their products, B&G pickles, I have noticed how they have greatly increased their supermaket shelf space over the past few years, at the expense of Heinz.

Back to tortillas, of which the taco is a variety, I admit that Mexican is my least favorite ethnic food. I do like homemade tacos using Ortega shells, though.
