The Jack in the Box Fish Burrito has been announced as the latest menu item from the QSR brand that will offer consumers an alternative product to pick up if they are participating in Lent.
The burrito is made with two filets of Alaskan pollock that have been 100% wild caught, a drizzle of creamy chipotle sauce and shredded lettuce all served in a warm flour tortilla. This brings an alternative meat product to the market that is great for consumers who participate in Lent, but also for pescatarians who avoid red meat and chicken in favor of fish.
The Jack in the Box Fish Burrito can be purchased on an individual basis or as part of the $5 Fish Burrito Combo that comes complete with fries and a drink.
