Hot Honey Chicken Quesadilla

Flame-grilled chicken glazed with Spiceology Smoky Honey Habanero Blend is tucked into a golden-crisp quesadilla with melted three-cheese blend and fire-roasted peppers. Served with sweet heat crema—a lime, sour cream, and Smoky Honey Habanero dip that’s cool, creamy, and just the right kind of spicy. It’s a protein-forward flavor bomb that adds crave to every bite, while the dipping sauce brings interactive appeal perfect for in-store or off-premise.

Rio Grande Steak Burrito

Char-grilled steak, seasoned with Spiceology's Rio Grande Tex-Mex blend, gets wrapped in a warm tortilla with smoky black beans, fire-roasted corn salsa, and pepper-jack cheese. Served with a side of Rio Ranchero Dip—smoky tomato, Spiceology Rio Grande, and chile sauce made for drizzling, dunking, or pouring on heavy. This burrito leads with premium protein and delivers on bold, Southwest flavor—built to anchor the lineup or headline a new flavor campaign.
