The pusher is shaped like an angled cross-section of the body and contacts respective edges of the sides of the cradled taco. The pusher includes respective tabs extending through the sliding slots for securing the pusher to the inside of the body while allowing movement of the pusher and contacted taco along the inside of the body in the lengthwise direction.
