QDOBA Adds Habanero Lime Steak

QDOBA is the Number 2 restaurant brand in the Mexican fast-casual category (though sadly there are none here in the San Antonio area), and they are adding a new protein that you can include with their various menu items.  The Habanero Lime Steak brings some heat to the chain for the Summer months, and here is the description from their press release:

This features tender grilled steak tossed in fiery habanero sauce, lime juice and fresh cilantro. Sautéed in-house over an open flame, the new Habanero Lime Steak packs a fiery punch, underscoring QDOBA’s continued focus on flavor.
