cooked chicken drives this basket at $7.99, 36% of the total. The next biggest lines are corn tortillas ($5.38) and pico de gallo ($2.89). $12.46 of the basket - 57% - is package remainder: food you buy because stores sell packages and recipes call for amounts. It does not vanish, it sits in your kitchen for the next meal.

Fresh pico de gallo, cooked chicken, veggies, and cheese combine to make these tasty taquitos that are baked, not fried, for a healthy meal or snack.
