MANILA -- Leading Philippine fast-food group Jollibee Foods wants to put nachos and burritos on the company's menu, continuing its expansion efforts targeting foreign diners.

Jollibee looks to invest in a Mexican restaurant chain this year, the group's leaders said Friday, part of its ambition to be among the five largest fast-food companies in the world. Jollibee, which added premium burgers, coffee and Chinese noodles to its portfolio in recent years, boasts annual sales of around $3.4 billion.
