We have Chipotle’s Viral Grilled Cheese Burrito recipe for you in time to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
Cinco de Mayo is a yearly commemoration of the Mexican army’s improbable victory over the bigger, better-armed French forces in the daylong Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862 during the Franco-Mexican War. But in the United States, Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Mexican culture — especially the food. Burritos, anyone?
Chipotle has partnered with TikTok creator @Yanotom to share his viral menu hack, which the internet has named “The Chipotle Grilled Cheese Burrito" that you can make at home.
Here's what you'll need to prepare it:
First, you'll need to order a bowl from Chipotle — Yanotom ordered one with “literally every ingredient” — before emptying it all out into the biggest tortilla you can find. After wrapping everything up, Yanotom heats it in a pan, “sealing” the burrito with a layer of shredded cheese on both sides, and drizzling it with a combo of sour cream and vinaigrette dressing. If you prefer, adapt it or opt to DIY-it to your heart's content.
“The Chipotle Grilled Cheese Burrito hack is a delicious hack fans can recreate at home this Cinco de Mayo with our $0 delivery fee offer,” Stephanie Perdue, vice president of brand marketing at Chipotle said in a statement. “We love to amplify culinary menu innovations that showcase the creative combinations our fans come up with.”
