Following the recent launch of its Crispy Chicken Ramen Combo, Jack in the Box is adding an Asian-inspired twist to another menu item with the creation of its new Sauced & Loaded Chicken Noodle Burrito.
Currently being tested at Jack in the Box locations in Reno, Chico-Redding, and Monterey-Salinas, the new Sauced & Loaded Chicken Noodle Burrito is kind of like a cross between a stir-fry and a burrito. Each one consists of sweet and spicy Honey Garlic Sriracha-tossed yakisoba noodles (Japanese stir-fry noodles), along with crispy or grilled white-meat chicken, broccoli, and shredded carrots. This savory combo is then wrapped up in a soft flour tortilla, or served in a bowl like a burrito bowl. At the Salinas location, you can also pair the new Sauced & Loaded Chicken Noodle Burrito with an egg roll and fountain drink.
