Taco Bell has all your snacking needs covered with three $2 burritos: the Chicken Enchilada Burrito, the Chicken Poblano Caesar Burrito, and the Cheesy Chipotle Chicken Burrito.
All three of the new $2 burritos are handheld snack options that are currently being tested in Charlotte, North Carolina. The first of the new burritos is the Chicken Enchilada Burrito, which pairs grilled chicken with ingredients like seasoned rice, red sauce, and a three-cheese blend. On the other hand, the new Chicken Poblano Caesar Burrito combines grilled chicken with roasted poblano Caesar sauce, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and crunchy fiesta tortilla strips. Lastly, the Cheesy Chipotle Chicken Burrito consists of grilled chicken, seasoned rice, Creamy Chipotle sauce, a three-cheese blend, and reduced-fat sour cream.
