Sauce-Topped Burritos

The Smothered Burritos from Moe's Southwest Grill are Deliciously Messy

— October 21, 2016 — Lifestyle
The popular Mexican chain Moe’s Southwest Grill recently began offering Smothered Burritos for those who aren't afraid to get a little messy when they eat. While certainly not the most portable burrito option, the hearty new wraps give consumers a whole new way to enjoy their favorite Mexican sauces.

For a limited time, Moe's is letting customers cover any of its burritos in one of its signature sauce to create their very own Smothered Burrito. The sauces available for smothering include Hatch Green Chile, Red Chili and Mole. After the sauce has been added, each burrito is also topped with queso fresco and chopped cilantro. To complete the meal, guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo are served on the side.

Although messy, the Smothered Burritos are perfect for adventurous foodies looking for a way to pack as much flavor as possible into their meal.

3. Gourmet Fast Food - The introduction of smothered burritos by Moe's Southwest Grill showcases the trend towards gourmet fast food, combining high-quality ingredients and bold flavors in a quick-serve setting.
Industry Implications

3. QSR (quick Service Restaurants) - QSR chains can embrace the gourmet fast food trend by incorporating gourmet sauce options and premium toppings into their menus, enticing customers with elevated flavors and dining experiences.
