If you're looking for something filling that you can enjoy on the go, the new Southwest Steak Burrito is the perfect option. This portable meal consists of grilled steak, chile crema, chile corn salsa, crunchy tortilla strips, cilantro lime rice, and black beans, all tightly wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. On the other hand, the new Fresca Chicken Bowl consists of grilled adobo chicken, pickled red onions, jalapeno verde, salsa verde, and cotija cheese, all served in a bowl on a bed of crisp romaine lettuce, cilantro lime rice, and black beans. Both of the new dishes are available now from participating Qdoba locations nationwide.
