What's a Quesarito? My friend, let me tell you; if you enjoy munching down on a classic Chipotle Burrito, this takes it to the next level by wrapping your burrito with cheese and a tortilla.

If the Quesarito is too big and menacing for you, the Burritodilla is a complete contrast. The slimmer size of this Burritodilla holds half of the burrito toppings sandwiched between cheese and more cheese.

Simply ask for the Burritodilla; or here are the directions, add cheese to a tortilla, then ask for half the amount of burrito toppings, then more cheese, then fold it like a quesadilla, Then bingo, you have a cheesy-licious Burritodilla!
