Review: Taco Bell - Chipotle Ranch Grilled Steak Burrito

Taco Bell's Chipotle Ranch Grilled Steak Burrito features grilled marinated steak, shredded lettuce, Avocado Ranch Sauce, pico de gallo, crunchy fiesta strips, shredded cheddar cheese, and Creamy Chipotle Sauce, wrapped in a soft flour tortilla and grilled.

I got one for $3.29 (most areas have them for $3, though).

I don't typically like lettuce in a burrito as it tends to wilt in short order when sealed in a flour tortilla. However, the only hot/warm ingredient in the Chipotle Ranch Grilled Steak Burrito is the steak, which wasn't exactly plentiful, so the lettuce managed to keep a decent amount of texture. The watery crunch of the lettuce was buoyed by the heartier crunch of the fiesta strips, while the pico de gallo added acidity and flavor.

The grilling of the tortilla added a extra layer of toasty flavor but not as much texture as you'd think.

Two sauces was a bit excessiveand both sauces were mayo based so there was some overlap. The cheese added an extra richenss and a mild flavor.

The steak was tender, moist, and lightly seasoned but there was just barely enough to catch a bit of meatiness in most bites.

Still, Taco Bell's Chipotle Ranch Grilled Steak Burrito is one of two fast-food menu items that gets you some steak for $3 right now (the other is Taco Bell's Cheesy Melty Grilled Steak Burrito) and between the two, I enjoyed this one more as the lighter ingredients let the steak shine a little more.
