Chili’s Pick-a-Pepper Menu – A Tasty and Affordable Night Out! ($25 Chili’s #Giveaway)
By: Ashley
I realize just how important getting out of the house on my own is. I don’t have any crazy hobbies or anything organized to do when that happens… except for food. Going out to eat is such a special treat: no cooking, no cleaning, no preparing anything for anyone else, and when I’m done I don’t have to do a single dish. I absolutely LOVE it… and I always have. In fact, that’s one of my favorite things to do when my toddler heads over to Grandma’s house. Last week, I took a trip to Chili’s to check out their new Pick- a-Pepper Menu on a little Girls’ Night Out with my friend.
If you haven’t heard about it yet, Chili’s has a new feature menu highlighting some of the most pepper rich dishes. If you’re not a fan of spicy, don’t worry. This menu isn’t a list of options designed to set fire to your taste buds, but just to put a little spotlight on the vegetable that makes Chili’s… well… Chili’s!
When you open up the Pick-a-Pepper Menu, you’re greeted by a wide variety of options including the Santa Cruz Steak, Roasted Red Pepper Grilled Chicken, Smoky Chipotle Chicken Fajitas, and Chipotle Salmon.
I went with the Roasted Red Pepper Grilled Chicken, and it was delicious. It wasn’t greasy or heavy and had just a hint of spicy flavor, but didn’t burn my taste buds! Perfect!
My friend went with the Santa Cruz Steak and, from everything I could tell, it was equally amazing. She even braved the jalapeño cheddar mashed potatoes as a side dish! I’m a little scared of food that has too much heat, but she claims they were great! Apparently, the creamy potatoes and cheese helps cool the jalapeno bite.
There are three things that I really love about this menu:
– It is affordable. You can make a selection that will fill you up and not have to spend an arm and a leg. Several of the Pick-a-Pepper options are even on the 2 for $20 menu!
– The food at Chili’s has great flavor with being too unhealthy. I was able to eat grilled chicken, steamed veggies, and rice. That’s a meal I can enjoy and not have to feel guilty about.
– The Pick-a-Pepper Menu does a great job letting you know what kind of spicy you’re getting into and how spicy it’s going to be. That’s something I really appreciate!
