Tesco Chicken, Chorizo & Chipotle Mayo


Rating: 5.2/10

Between two very thin, and slightly moist, slices of sundried tomato bread, this Tesco’s chicken, chorizo and chipotle mayo sandwich did not satisfy this first time tasting. As well as the very thin moist bread, the filling itself was very unsatisfying. The chicken was very dry and flavourless, as if had been overcooked and then left to fester. As well as the spinach, which was also very flavourless and quite withered as if it had been left in the heat for too long. Mixed emotions were felt about the chipotle mayo, it brought a strong flavour to the sandwich, yet it lacked the kick that my taste buds we on the hunt for, this being the medium spice that the packet clearly stated, this false advertisement did not please the taste buds. This leads to the missing tomato and green peppers. The ingredients state that they were meant to be in there, but they were not, what’s up with that Tesco? However, what managed to turn this sandwich from a terrible one to a fairly bad one was firstly the chorizo. The chorizo was well portioned and of perfect taste, so that it did not make the sandwich too acidic and hefty in the meat area. As well as, the pleasant surprise I got when I stumbled across the pinto beans. There were not a lot of them, which was good as a sandwich is no place for a bean, yet the nice surprise I received when biting into them gave the sandwich a bit more texture and flavour. On the whole, the Tesco’s chicken, chorizo and chipotle mayo sandwich was not an ideal choice when in need of a snack due to its lack of flavour, the poor quality and amount of filling (as you can see from the photo below the sandwich doesn't even fill the box), and the fact it did not do what it said on the packet.
