Taco Del is expanding its fan-favorite grilled carne asada steak lineup with the addition of the new Chipotle Carne Asada Steak Burrito.

Not only is the name a bit of a mouthful, but so is this new burrito. Weighing in at over half a pound, the new Chipotle Carne Asada Steak Burrito is packed with a flavorful combo of freshly grilled carne asada steak, [slow-cooked beans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slowcooked-pork-carnitas), cilantro lime rice, spiced chipotle sauce, and cool sour cream. All these ingredients are then wrapped in an oversized flour tortilla and grilled until warm and crisp. The new burrito can be enjoyed a la carte, or ordered as part of a [combo that also comes with fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mucho-meal) and a drink.
