I’m a Wild Child. (Chili’s Review + Giveaway)

The winner is – Carmen Q.!

Everyone in this family is crazy for Chili’s.  They serve up crowd-pleasing food, that’s for sure.  Since I tend to like things spicy, and my husband does not, there are delicious options for both of us with the new Wild or Mild menu.

Before we left for lunch, I signed up for the Chili’s email club and was able to print out a free coupon for chips and queso.  We love ordering this as an appetizer because it’s a snack we all love and can easily share.  Their tortilla chips are nice and thin – I love them there!

For a limited time Chili’s is offering this menu featuring new items with ramped up spices or cooled down flavors from their original recipes, like Kicked-Up Queso, Blazin’ Big Mouth Bites, Jalapeno Chicken Quesadillas and Sweet Maple BBQ Chicken Crispers. Don’t worry, the original recipes are still available too!

I like my flavors wild, so I opted for the Jalapeno Chicken Quesadillas.  They did not disappoint—they were mighty wild and seriously yummy.  I couldn’t believe the portion size for this plate.  Even with the big appetite I came with, I could not find the room to finish, so the leftovers returned home with us.

Kevin ordered the Margarita Grilled Chicken; doesn’t it look equally tantalizing for the taste buds?

Also, check out the Shout Out To Eat Out – Wild or Mild promotion, which is running until the end of April.  All you have to do to enter is upload a head shot of yourself to create your own wild or mild avatar.  Each day one random winner will receive a $20 Chili’s gift card.  The most voted ‘Wild’ avatar will win a ‘Wild’ trip to Las Vegas and the most voted ‘Mild’ avatar will win a ‘Mild’ trip to Disney World!
