The new Cheese-Crusted Quesadillas take a classic Mexican dish and give it an extra dose of cheesy goodness. Each Cheese-Crusted Quesadilla can be made with your choice of protein, melted cheese, salsas, sauces, and toppings. The quesadillas even come with a side of hand-crafted guacamole and sour cream on the side for dipping. As if that weren't exciting enough, the chain is also offering a new pre-built Smoky Chicken Cheese-Crusted Quesadilla. This dish takes a cheese-crusted tortilla and fils it with a tasty combo of Grilled Adobo Chicken, [3-cheese queso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schlotzskys-mac-and-cheese), even more shredded cheese, pico de Gallo, and chile crema.
