QDOBA's Fan-Favorite Loaded Tortilla Soup Makes a Delicious Return as Part of a Comfort Food Fiesta - Including Other Menu Favorites like Cheese-Crusted Quesadillas and Brisket Birria

"Year after year, we love leaning into the coziness of colder months and exciting fans with this fan-favorite staple," said Katy Velazquez, Executive Corporate Chef at QDOBA. "While it's only offered for a limited time through fall and winter, we know nothing beats snuggling up to a warm bowl of your own, perfectly crafted soup!"

Loaded Tortilla Soup is made with a vegetable broth flavored with tomatoes, roasted peppers, onions and spices. Guests can customize their soup by loading it up with their favorite savory protein — Brisket Birria, Grilled Adobo Chicken and Grilled Steak, among others — or enjoy as a vegetarian-friendly entrée. It also comes with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, tortilla strips and QDOBA's always-free hand-crafted guacamole. Loaded Tortilla Soup can be enjoyed as a create your own entrée with or without a crispy tortilla shell, as a side that's topped with tortilla strips and sour cream or, new this season, as a catering option.

Velazquez adds, "For maximum comfort, I prefer pairing my Loaded Tortilla Soup with our Cheese-Crusted Quesadilla with Brisket Birria. It's like a dip — and a flavor explosion — in all the best ways."

QDOBA's Cheese-Crusted Quesadilla with Brisket Birria is made with tender, shredded beef brisket slow-cooked for 10 hours in chiles and garlic to infuse authentic Mexican flavors. Inspired by the street tacos in Mexico City, QDOBA's Cheese-Crusted Quesadillas have gooey melted cheese inside of a perfectly golden cheese-crusted tortilla. The on-trend flavor of Brisket Birria, paired with the warm, cheesy goodness of the quesadilla, is a popular choice among fans based on consumers' growing interest in birria-related foods, setting QDOBA apart from industry competitors.

Guests can order Loaded Tortilla Soup, as well as the Cheese-Crusted Quesadilla with Brisket Birria in-restaurant, online or through the QDOBA app for pick-up or delivery at participating locations. Please visit QDOBA.com.
