Taco Bell Chicken Flatbread Sandwich
When I first saw commercials for the new Chicken Flatbread Sandwich, I was interested as to what it would taste like. I guess the flatbread emphasis tricked me into thinking it was something unusual, but when it comes down to the actual ingredients and preparation, it is basically a chicken quesadilla. The item consists of the typical Taco Bell three-cheese-blend, pieces of grilled chicken, a chipotle-cheese-like sauce, all contained within a piece of square-cut flatbread. The chicken tastes lean, the cheese full of flavor, and the flatbread warm and soft, while the chipotle sauce brings a little something extra while pulling it all together. At the end of the day, I would describe this as a flatbread chicken quesadilla with a little Spanish flavor added through the chipotle sauce. It isn’t the most filling item on the menu - after all, it is essentially a mini quesadilla - but this is one item you should definitely think about ordering, especially considering it is on the value menu.
Phoood rating: 
I tried one of these a few days ago and I have to say the creamy chipotle cheese sauce on mine was a bit on the overtly salty side.
I saw the young man making it after I ordered, he applied the proper amount of man-suace from his organic squirter, and he squeezed too much of the white yellow sauce on the tortilla. It was so much, I could see the squirter throbbing in his hand a he vigorously finished applying the sauce on the flatbread.
I dunno, is it supposed to be this salty? He mentioned, "I hope you enjoy the new and improved sauce, I made it myself." to me as I picked up my order.
Don't think I'll order this item again, this is some secret sauce I can do without. Plus it made the food taste so slimy.

What I had could have been called a chicken residue sandwich. The meat content while recognizable as white chicken breast was actually bits and pieces of chicken no whole slices. It was disappointing.

Hoping they bring this back soon
