Quesada launches Ghost Pepper Chicken Mole – a bold fusion of heat and heritage

Feel the heat. Feel the flavour. This one’s ‘To the Mex.’

Toronto, April 16, 2025 – Quesada, a Canadian-grown Mexican fast-food destination, is turning up the heat with the return of its fan-favourite Ghost Pepper Chicken Mole, available across Canada from April 16 to July 15, 2025. This flavour-packed dish allows Quesada’s guests to really “Feel the Heat,” best enjoyed with the brand’s newest Spicy Mango Salsa.

A tribute to tradition with a daring twist, the Ghost Pepper Chicken Mole features tender white meat chicken simmered in a rich, velvety mole sauce — a beloved Mexican classic known for its sweet and savoury complexity. Quesada’s version intensifies the experience with eight types of chile peppers, including the legendary Ghost Pepper, bringing the heat to a bold 8/10 spice level.

“This isn’t just a sauce — it’s an experience,” said Angelo Ragas, Brand Leader for Quesada. “The chicken absorbs all the deep, smoky flavour of the mole, making every bite an authentic taste of Mexico — but spiced ‘To the Mex.’”

An option on all Quesada favourites — burritos, bowls, quesadillas, tacos and nachos — the Ghost Pepper Chicken Mole is customizable with an arsenal of spicy toppings such as Salsa Roja, Habanero Mayo, and Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce. The boldness continues with the introduction of Spicy Mango Salsa, launching April 30 and available for a limited time only, offering a sweet-heat combo that will leave guests with a gusto for more.

The reintroduction of this beloved dish comes by popular demand after it made a lasting impression on guests in its inaugural year in 2023. As a proudly Canadian brand, Quesada continues to bring bold, globally inspired flavours to communities nationwide — all while staying true to its roots.

*Quesada is taking things “To the Mex” with the return of its fan-favourite – the Ghost Pepper Chicken Mole. The limited-time offer is available at all participating locations until July 15.*
