Start your Sweet, Smoky & Hot feast at Chili's with the new Pulled Pork Corn Cakes (P 325), fresh grilled corn cakes topped with tender and juicy richly seasoned pork carnitas, drizzled with honey chipotle sauce, pickled red onions, cumin lime sour cream, queso, and fresh cilantro.

The corn cakes are soft with a subtle sweetness to complete the play on flavors, pairing well with the various toppings.

Then, it's time for the mains. Chili's new Ancho Rubbed Tilapia (P 425), soft and tender flaky tilapia with a spicy Ancho chili paste drizzled in a tangy citrus chili sauce, topped with corn succotash, queso, and fresh cilantro on soft and fluffy Chili's rice with steamed fresh vegetables, is a great light and healthy option. The delicate flavors of the tender tilapia are punctuated by the Ancho chili rub, adding a layer of sharpness and just a whisper of heat. The corn succotash, queso, and cilantro complete the flavors. A platefull of flavors without the guilt.

For heftier appetites, go for Chili's Sweet Mustard Seed Baby Back Ribs (P 665 Half Rack/P 965 Full Rack), tender pork ribs basted in Chili's very own sweet smoky barbecue sauce blended with mustard seeds, honey, and Worcestershire sauce, served with golden homestyle fries and and corn-on-the-cob.

Grilled to medium, with its distinct juicy pink center, the sirloin is tender and juicy with rich beefy flavors pumped up with the sweet and smoky honey-chipotle sauce. The roasted garlic adds a distinct nutty note to the steak to round out the flavors.

The creamy mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables complete the dish. All three mains come with your choice of two sides which include homestyle fries, corn-on-the-cob, Chili's cilantro rice and fresh vegetables, steamed white rice, mashed potatoes, and broccoli spears.
