Chipotle’s Quesadillas

Move over, burritos – Chipotle’s finally bringing quesadillas to the menu!  After years of waiting, it’s finally here.  The Chipotle Quesadilla is filled with Monterey Jack Cheese and comes with your choice of Chicken, Steak, Carnitas, Barbacoa, Sofritas, or Fajita Veggies.  The only catch is that you need to order online or in the app to get the Quesadilla.  You can’t order one walking in to the restaurant.  Chipotle posted the news of the quesadilla menu addition on its website.

Chipotle has upped its app game.  Now you’ve got Complete Customization options to make your burrito/tacos/bowl masterpiece just the way you want it!  You can get a “Normal”, “Light”, or “Extra” amount of a topping or filling like rice, salsa and such, or you can get it on the side.  Click here to visit Chipotle Rewards to download the app – it’s well worth the screenspace and memory on your phone!

Chipotle is also a TikTok champion among restaurant brands, and they are putting out a series of videos showing some great menu hacks that use the Complete Customization capabilities to the max.  Here’s a few:
