Del Taco Chicken Enchilada Bowl
Drove through a Del Taco restaurant yesterday and saw that they are testing (at least I think it's a test) a new Chicken Enchilada Bowl with "Slow cooked beans, seasoned rice, grilled marinated chicken, zesty green sauce, freshly grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro," for a cost of $3.99 and the combo which adds small fries and a drink is $4.99. Similar to their breakfast bowl but with corn tortilla strips (soft, not fried) instead of hash brown sticks and chicken, beans, and rice in place of eggs, bacon, and chili. The picture doesn't convey that there's a lot of food under the surface:

Tried it. Was disappointed. But that's only because I LOVE red sauce enchiladas and the Del Taco bowl used green sauce. I hate green sauce enchiladas. Other than that, I like the idea and you certainly get a lot to eat for a good price.
ReplyDeleteAsk them to use red sauce!
ReplyDeleteAt the time, it didn't even cross my mind. But I've since gone back and asked them to use red sauce and the bowl was delicious. I loved it. Thanks!
