Guess who just got back today? No, it’s not the boys, and they’re not back in town. Unless by boys you mean “stuffed quesadillas” and by town you mean “El Pollo Loco.” Because the chain has brought back two fan-fave Stuffed Quesadillas, and added a brand new one to the menu, to boot.
"El Pollo Loco has you covered if you're constantly on the go," says Jill Adams, Chief Marketing Officer for El Pollo Loco via a press release provided to Guilty Eats. "With these Stuffed Quesadillas, you don’t have to sacrifice flavor for convenience. They are the perfect solution for a quick, satisfying meal when you're rushing between errands or just looking for a meal that can be eaten with one hand."
I assume you’re eating with one hand because the other one is making a fist and pumping it in the air while you listen to “The Boys Are Back in Town,” but that was unconfirmed as of press time.
Anyway, let’s talk flavors. The two returning Stuffed Q’s are the Shredded Beef Stuffed Quesadilla, and the Chicken Avocado Stuffed Quesadilla. The third, new Stuffy Q is a Chicken Poblano Stuffed Quesadilla. You can probably figure out what’s going on here, but just in case not, here are the official descriptions per PR from the chain:
- The newly added Chicken Poblano Stuffed Quesadilla is a true symphony of flavors, combining juicy fire-grilled chicken, Jack Cheese, hand-sliced avocados, roasted poblano peppers, salsa fresca, and creamy cilantro dressing. All these delectable ingredients are wrapped in a warm flour tortilla grilled to perfection, offering a unique and satisfying dining experience.
- The new Shredded Beef Stuffed Quesadilla features tender beef, Jack Cheese, diced onions, hand-sliced avocados, chopped cilantro, and avocado salsa sealed in a warm flour tortilla that's grilled and ready to devour. (Note: It is unavailable in the Fresno and Sacramento markets.)
- The Chicken Avocado Stuffed Quesadilla is a classic menu item that customers love throughout the year. It combines the chain’s citrus-marinated, fire-grilled chicken with Jack Cheese, fresh avocados, salsa fresca, and a creamy cilantro dressing, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla that's grilled to perfection to lock in the vibrant flavors.
All three types are available now for a limited time and sound delicious. We’re so glad they’re back in town* (*El Pollo Loco). Take that, Thin Lizzy. You’re gonna be Fat Lizzy once you eat all these Stuffed Quesadillas!
