Del Taco is kicking 2025 off on a tasty note with the debut of two new burrito options: the Bean, Rice and Cheese Burrito and the Chipotle Chicken Burrito.
The two new burritos are available as part of Del Taco's Del’s Real Deal$ menu, which features some of the brand's most popular menu items at wallet-friendly prices. The first of the new burrito options is the vegetarian-friendly Bean, Rice and Cheese Burrito, which consists of a warm, oversized flour tortilla filled with slow-cooked bean, cilantro lime rice, fresh house-grated cheddar cheese, and zesty red sauce. On the other hand, the new Chipotle Chicken Burrito features a combination of marinated and freshly grilled chicken, slow-cooked beans, cilantro lime rice, chipotle sauce, and sour cream, all wrapped up in a warm, grilled flour tortilla.
