Chili’s Mild side of the menu

My family visits Chili’s often. We’ve ordered off the Wild or Mild Menu twice now and still deciding on our favorites. I normally go for Mild. Below, I’m enjoying the Chili’s Mild Bacon Ranch Chicken Quesadillas. Don’t think that just because they are on the Mild side of the menu that they aren’t full of delicious flavors of applewood smoked bacon and cheese. The dish comes with sour cream, house-made pico de gallo and ancho-ranch dressing.  The flavor combination is a hit for our entire family, as of course everyone had to try them! The side of rice was good but the black beans were super good, I was actually surprised at how good the black beans were. Yummy!

Chili’s Wild side of the menu

My husband, Matt likes spicy foods so he ordered off the Wild side of the menu. He enjoyed the hearty plate of Chili’s Wild Blazin’ Big Mouth Bites.  This dish includes 4 peppercorn-crusted mini burgers with jalapeño-mayo, jalapeños and American cheese. It was perfect for my husband’s taste buds but I can’t handle jalapenos so there was no way I was tasting it! However, it is served with crispy onion strings and homestyle fries to which we all enjoyed. I can never pass up crispy onion strings!

Chili’s Kids Menu

Chili’s always offers a complete selection of menu items for kids. You can go with basic foods like burgers and fries to grilled chicken or quesadillas. Chili’s has a great kids menu! My kids enjoyed grilled chicken and corn dogs during this visit, both chose corn on the cob. I’m not sure where they found corn on the cob this time of year but it was mighty tasty!

Plus, the kids menus come with lots of fun activities and games that kids and families can play until the food arrives. Whoever thought of this was a genius!

Chili’s Lemonade

Everytime I go to Chili’s, I order their lemonade. I’m totally addicted. I like their Strawberry Lemonade but this time I tried their Blackberry Lemonade. It is my new favorite. How I wish I could have Chili’s Blackberry Lemonade all the time.  Oh, I heard they have Mango Lemonade too, I’ll have to try that next time for sure.
