Tex-Mex-Inspired Burgers

The Chili's Queso Burger is Topped with Pico de Gallo and Tortilla Strips

The Chili's Queso Burger is one of the latest menu items from the restaurant brand that looks to merge culinary flavors in a way that makes it applicable for discerning patrons to enjoy.

The burger consists of a half-pound patty that has been covered in a hefty serving of white quest before being finished with pico de gallo and crunchy tortilla strips. The Tex-Mex-inspired burger is an indulgent take on the classic menu item that is almost like a taco-burger hybrid for those who are seeking a different way to enjoy the various flavors.

The Chili's Queso Burger has been introduced alongside the new Mushroom Jack Chicken Fajitas, which are made with sautéed mushrooms, grilled chicken, crumbled bacon, onions and mixed cheeses.
