Jack in the Box has teamed up with the movie "Deadpool & Wolverine" to debut a new Southwest Chicken Mini Chimichangas offering – also called 'Mini Chimi Bang Bangs' in a nod to the Deadpool franchise.
If you've never had one before, a chimichanga is essentially a deep-fried burrito. Jack in the Box's version is shrunken in size and stuffed with a Southwest chicken filling. The chimichangas can be ordered Classis (without any toppings) or Sauced & Loaded, which features a topping of shredded cheddar, cheese sauce, shredded lettuce, and taco sauce.
Even more exciting than the new dish, Jack in the Box has announced that the 100 customers who order a Mini Chimi Bang Bangs $10 Fan Favs Box at each location will receive a limited-edition Deadpool x Jack in the Box antenna ball.
