A cross between two beloved Mexican dishes, the new OMCheese Quesadilla Taco offers a perfect marriage of flavors and textures. The new dish starts with a [grilled quesadilla shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volcano-quesarito) coated in a warm, melty blend of four cheeses (Cheddar, Asadero, Monterey Jack, and Queso Blanco), all folded around a Fiesta Softshell Taco stuffed with grilled, all-white meat chicken, savory Fiesta Sauce, house-made Pico de Gallo, and fresh lettuce. AsBrad Bergaus, Taco John’s Corporate Chef and Director of [Menu Innovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-johns-taco-pizza), said in a recent press release, "This innovative dish combines a melty, cheesy quesadilla with the freshness of our signature tacos, delivering a completely new way to experience Taco John’s that will appeal to first-time and longtime guests." While the new OMCheese Quesadilla Taco makes a delicious snack on its own, you can also upgrade to a combo with Potato Olés and a drink for a complete meal.
