Starting today through April 20, taco-lovers nationwide can enter for this opportunity of a lifetime. The Moe’s CTO will help spread Southwest flavor across the country; plus, there are killer perks. The CTO will travel on the Moe’s food truck for the brand’s first-ever Taco Tour giving away FREE Three Amigos tacos to fans across the country.

“Moe’s Three Amigos tacos – chicken, steak and carnitas – are prepared on fresh corn tortillas and topped with pickled red onions, queso fresco, avocado crema, cilantro and shredded cabbage,” said Ciarán Duffy, Moe’s Executive Chef. “We crafted the new menu item to maximize the flavors that our fans crave in a unique street-style taco inspired by Southwest cuisine.”

We’re looking for a taco fanatic who loves all things Moe’s – from the Welcome to Moe’s greeting to our mouth-watering food to our irreverent and bold personality. Perks include—but are not limited to—all you can eat tacos on the Taco Tour, an exclusive trip to Moe’s Test Kitchen, lots of free swag and infinite bragging rights. Check it out and enter for the chance to be Moe’s CTO for two weeks on Monster.com now through April 20.

“At Moe’s, we’re always looking for ways to engage with our fans whether it’s helping name a new menu item, showing them a behind-the-scenes look into our culinary innovation or just rewarding them for being rock star brand ambassadors,” said Bruce Schroder, President of Moe’s. “We wanted to take this engagement to the next level and there is no better way to do that than appoint our biggest taco fanatic to Chief Taco Officer and help spread the word about for our newest menu item – Three Amigos tacos.”

You can enter to be Moe’s CTO now through April 20. Moe’s will choose three finalists – or more appropriately, Three Amigos and they will be announced on May 7 via Moe’s Facebook page. Our fans will do the rest by selecting their favorite finalist. All three amigos will be given a unique hashtag and the one with the most votes will be appointed to Chief Taco Officer on May 21.

The CTO will be kicking off the Moe’s Taco Tour on June 1 in Atlanta, GA. Fans will be able to follow the journey and find out where the food truck will be stopping to give out FREE Three Amigos Tacos via #MoesCTO and www.moes.com/cto.
