We haven't heard from Chipotle in a minute, but we're glad to know the fast-casual chain hasn't stopped listening to customers as it innovates. For years, quesadillas have been both a frequently requested secret menu item and a hot topic of conversation on social media. Now, Chipotle has officially added this popular entrée to its lineup.

If you have a craving for one, you've been able to ask your local Chipotle to make you an off-the-books quesadilla using tortillas, cheese, and your favorite protein. The chain finally began testing its Hand-Crafted Quesadilla in select areas last summer, and there's something special about the official quesadilla. For meltier cheese and quicker service, this entrée is pressed using a new custom oven in Chipotle's Digital Kitchen.

Because Hand-Crafted Quesadillas are a digital-only menu item, you can only order one through Chipotle's app or website. They'll come in a compostable tray with room for three salsas or sides of your choosing. Yes, hand-mashed guac is still extra!

"We're so excited to answer the call from fans and introduce one of the most highly anticipated menu items in our brand's history," Chris Brandt, chief marketing officer for Chipotle, said in a news release. "The Hand-Crafted Quesadilla brings so many new possibilities to our menu, and fans will love exploring fresh flavor combinations through its sides and salsa options."

Chipotle is notorious for calmly sailing along with its core menu, and it announces new additions much more rarely than competitors like Taco Bell. In fact, the quesadilla is Chipotle's first customizable menu addition in 17 years.

But there have been exciting new ingredients added to the menu more recently. Since 2019, the chain has introduced carne asada, cauliflower rice, queso blanco, and a supergreens salad mix to its menu.

shape: By now, you're well aware that soda is, well, dangerous. It's the one drink you should simply refrain from drinking whenever you can. In fact, it just might be contributing to that soda belly of yours.In a study of about 1,000 adults over the course of six years, people who drank soda or other sugar-sweetened beverages gained an extra 1.8 pounds of visceral fat-the fat that sits inside your gut, damaging your internal organs and pushing your belly out. And visceral fat has been shown to increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, among other ills. Yikes.So why is soda so good at making us look bad? It's the sugar. The American Heart Association recommends women consume no more than 100 calories (25 grams or 6 teaspoons) per day on sugar and men no more than 150 calories (36 grams or 9 teaspoons) per day.This amount is about 20 grams less than the usual 45 grams of sugar found in many sodas and other sweetened beverages. And if it's not sugar, then it's artificial sweetener, which is 180 times sweeter than sugar and more damaging to your waistline.To help you make better choices, we've ranked the more than 100 of the most popular sodas. We look at calories, sodium, carbs, sugar and examined each can's ingredients and gave demerits to sodas with more chemicals and additives than those that were nutritionally similar.Click through to see where your favorite fizzy drinks fall in our best and worst sodas list, ranked from worst-to-best. (Although, "best" still doesn't mean healthy!) And if you're looking for other beverages to cut from your shopping list, check out the 50 Drinks With More Sugar Than a Hershey's Bar.
