The quesarito was a menu item available at Taco Bell. It had the key components of a quesadilla and burrito rolled into one. It had seasoned beef, premium Latin rice, Chipotle sauce, reduced-fat sour cream, and wrapped up in a grilled quesadilla loaded with melted cheeses and nacho cheese sauce.
The name "quesarito" is a clever example of a lingusitic blending known as portmanteau as it combines "quesadilla" and "burrito."
History
The idea of the quesarito is not an original of Taco Bell, as Chipotle restaurants designed it from their secret menu. This idea dates back to 2011. However, Taco Bell is credited with innovating their own style of the quesarito, and making the food go mainstream and national in 2014.
In August of 2020, Taco Bell pulled it from their in-store and drive-through menus, instead only being available for order through the website or mobile app.
On April 19, 2023, the burrito was removed from the menu entirely.

There is a tutorial on the Central (coordinating) Wikia that will step you through more of the things you can do. Wiki allow for rather complicated formatting. It can look overwhelming when you begin, but don't let it worry you. Just start with the basics... enter some text, and learn the other pieces as you go. Your content contributions are welcome and important. The wiki is a collaborative effort and others can help with formatting and other improvements.
