What began with a cheese dusted taco shell has become an all-consuming mission by Taco Bell to obliterate their competition through savvy social media posts and even more stoner-approved munchies for their menu. The latest salvo: the Quesarito, a burrito wrapped inside a quesadilla swaddled in your dreams.
More specifically, it's a burrito filled with seasoned beef, premium Latin rice, Chipotle sauce and reduced-fat sour cream, which then gets an oozy hug from a "grilled quesadilla loaded with melted cheeses." What, no waffle?
Taco Bell will begin selling the Quesarito starting on Monday, June 9th. Hopefully it'll stick around longer than the Grilled Stuft Nacho.
Your move, Chipotle.
