Ortega is marking Cinco de Mayo with a new sweepstakes where one lucky consumer will win a year of free tacos. The promotion comes on the heels of a recent survey from the Ortega brand, that revealed just how much Americans are willing to give up for free tacos every day for a year.

Ortega surveyed 1,300 Americans to understand their taco consumption behaviors and preferences, and found that Americans are willing to give up some of their favorite indulgences and vices—including coffee, video games, and even social media—if it means they can have free tacos for a year.

Key survey findings include:

• Americans taking tacos over coffee: Nearly 1 in 3 (29%) Americans surveyed said they would give up coffee for one year if it meant they could get free tacos for a year.
• Passing on popular pastimes: More than one third of Americans surveyed said they would give up sports (36%) and video games (34%) in order to receive free tacos for a year.
• Swapping social time for tacos: Nearly one in five Americans surveyed said they were willing to give up social media (19%) if it meant they could have free tacos for a year.
• Tacos takeover: When asked about the frequency of eating foods per month, almost half (48%) of Americans surveyed said they eat tacos at least once per month* - that's more than pizza (46%), burgers (46%), French fries (41%) or pasta (36%).

Luckily, Americans won't need to give anything up, including social media, to still be eligible to win free Ortega tacos for a year. Beginning May 2, 2022 through May 6, 2022, consumers can enter to win the Ortega 'Year of Free Tacos' sweepstakes by visiting ortega.com/sweepstakes.   One winner will be selected at random and receive 52 coupons for a free box of Ortega taco shells—enough to create more than 600 tacos—in addition to assorted Ortega products for creating the ultimate taco.
