Chipotle Mexican Grill will introduce a hand-crafted quesadilla as a digital-only menu item on March 11. This is the first customizable entrée Chipotle will add to its menu since it introduced a salad option 17 years ago.
Chipotle's Quesadilla is filled with Monterey Jack cheese and freshly prepared with Responsibly-Raised chicken, steak, carnitas, barbacoa, sofritas, or fajita veggies. The menu item is cut into triangular pieces and served in 100 percent compostable packaging. Guests can pick three salsas or sides, including fresh tomato salsa, sour cream, or hand-mashed guacamole.
Chipotle is offering free delivery when guests order a quesadilla on the Chipotle app or website from March 11 through March 21.
"We're so excited to answer the call from fans and introduce one of the most highly anticipated menu items in our brand's history," said Chris Brandt, chief marketing officer, in a statement. "The Hand-Crafted Quesadilla brings so many new possibilities to our menu, and fans will love exploring fresh flavor combinations through its sides and salsa options."
