Subway Tests New Fritos-Stuffed Crunchy Chicken Enchilada Melt, Apparently Gives Up on Life

/ By: Dominique Zamora
For years, Subway has been touted as a savior for mildly health conscious cubicle-dwellers everywhere, tired of McDonald’s but still not quite willing to pay the premium to eat Veggie Grill or Panera Bread every day. But now it seems even Jared and the promise of an extra cookie or bag of chips isn’t enough to get people to visit, since Subway’s latest test sub looks so unhealthy, it’s almost patriotic.

Stuffed with shredded chicken dripping in enchilada sauce and topped with Monterey Cheddar and Fritos chips (yes really), the new Crunchy Chicken Enchilada Melt has only been spotted in Central Florida and downtown Seattle, according to Grub Grade (while a visit to our local Subway location revealed no such glory). But perhaps this reveal can be considered a sign that Subway has finally thrown in the towel. After all, given the choice between getting this and that awful Oven Roasted Chicken with Spinach again, we all know most of us would happily take the extra calories. Shh honey, it’s okay – that’s what all the vegetables are for.

1. I'm not a big fan of Subway in general, but that doesn't seem that horrible

I'd make something similar at home and not think twice about it. What's the problem? The fritos? It's not even a whole bag of them, barely a handful. The chicken? The enchilada sauce? The cheese?

2. I used to make an enchilada casserole with Fritos when the world and I were young.

It was really, really good.

Now that I am 40 years older and know about the evils of processed food in general and the effects of sodium specifically, I can feel my ankles puffing up from the mere thought of Fritos.

3. If it came to my local Subway, I'd try it

We are in a small town with limited take out choices. My husband's problem with Subway is that it always the same stuff. Then they seem to only have good things for a short period of time. I enjoyed the Tuscan chicken and the Smokehouse chicken, but of course they don't have those anymore. I'd definitely try it in the name of variety.

4. I went to our Subway and they did have it

It's interesting. Not sure if I'll have it again or not. It was edible, but different.
