The UK’s most loved Mexican restaurant, Tortilla, has unveiled an exciting new flavour-packed collaboration guaranteed to get tastebuds tingling.
For a limited time only, Tortilla is joining forces with flavour legends Sauce Shop® to launch Buffalo Hot Chicken – a fiery, tangy, irresistible new menu addition that is already shaping up to be the must-try collaboration of the year.
At the heart of the new launch is Tortilla’s oven-roasted chicken, drenched in Sauce Shop®’s multi-award-winning Buffalo Hot Sauce.
Crafted with their signature fermented jalapeños, the sauce delivers a punchy balance of heat, tang and depth that has earned a 3-star Great Taste Award and cemented its status as Sauce Shop®’s all-time bestseller.
To complete the buffalo experience, two exclusive new toppings are joining the menu. Tangy, crunchy pickled celery brings a refreshing snap that cuts through the heat, while a smooth, creamy avocado ranch made with lime, coriander and jalapeños delivers cooling richness.
Together, the trio of Buffalo Hot Chicken, pickled celery and avocado ranch creates the ultimate combination of spicy, tangy and indulgently creamy – a classic buffalo flavour, Tortilla-style.
James Garland, Director of Food at Tortilla, said: “We’re really excited to be teaming up with Sauce Shop® on this launch. Their Buffalo Hot has landed a 3-star Great Taste Award, and for good reason – it’s bold, fiery and seriously tasty. Pairing it with crunchy pickled celery and our smooth avocado ranch gives that classic buffalo, celery and ranch combo a Tortilla twist – big flavour, fresh ingredients and sure to be a crowd pleaser.”
As always with Tortilla, everything is made fresh to order in under 90 seconds, with ingredients prepared from scratch every single day, often twice daily. From hand-smashed guacamole made with ripe Hass avocados to grass-fed British Isle brisket used in the barbacoa, the focus remains firmly on quality, flavour and choice. Over 70% of the menu is plant-based and Vegan Friendly accredited, and every meal is fully customisable meaning the new Buffalo Hot Chicken can be enjoyed in whatever way suits your cravings or lifestyle.
Sauce Shop®, founded in a Nottingham home kitchen in 2014, was born out of frustration with bland, mass-produced sauces. Today their 50-strong team is producing hundreds of thousands of bottles each week, but their mission hasn’t changed – to make sauces with bold flavour and real ingredients that elevate every meal. Sauce Shop® products are available at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Asda, Waitrose and online.
Al Porter, Sauce Shop® Marketing Director, said: “We’re thrilled to see our Buffalo Hot Sauce bringing the heat at Tortilla. It’s bold, it’s fiery, and made with fresh, punchy ingredients that perfectly complement their vibrant, flavour-packed menu. This is what great partnerships taste like.”
The Buffalo Hot Chicken upgrade is available across Tortilla restaurants nationwide, with the exception of select university sites, travel hubs and delivery-only kitchens.
Customers can also enjoy it as part of Tortilla’s high-protein pots for £6, making it a great option for a post-gym refuel. Buffalo Hot Chicken is available for dine-in, takeaway, through Uber Eats, and via Order Ahead on the Tortilla app, with Burrito Society members receiving a free upgrade during launch week when ordering through the app.
Whether it’s a juicy burrito, a refreshing salad, tacos or a high-protein Protein Pot, Tortilla continues to offer fully customisable meals to suit all diets, cravings and lifestyles. Inspired by the taquerias of San Francisco, each Tortilla location delivers that same relaxed vibe with neon lights and feel-good tunes – perfect for casual meals with friends, family or colleagues.
Tortilla is proud to use 100% renewable electricity and source only the best ingredients, including grass-fed British Isle brisket for their barbacoa. With over 80 UK locations, 27 in France and 10 franchise sites in the Middle East, they remain Europe’s largest fast-casual Mexican brand and the UK’s most loved.
