While Taco Bell is often credited with putting a creative twist on classic Mexican dishes, the fast food chain Taco John's is upping the ante with its new Quesadilla Tacos. The dish manages to combine two popular Mexican meals into one delicious, hand-held entree.
The new Quesadilla Tacos from Taco John's are a cross between a quesadilla and a taco. The dish consists of two corn tortillas topped with Pepper Jack cheese, which are then grilled, folded and stuffed with tomatoes, lettuce, chili lime chicken and a spicy chipotle sauce. The hybrid dish allows consumers to enjoy the creaminess of quesadilla filling with the crunchy texture of a taco.
The new dish demonstrates that restaurants are increasingly experimenting with more traditional menu items as a way to stand out from competitors.
