MUCHO Burrito is adding a fresh twist to its menu with the launch of Shiitake Carnitas, a new plant-based protein that prioritizes flavor and simplicity. Made from slow-roasted shiitake mushrooms, the new Shiitake Carnitas delivers a rich, savory taste and a tender, pulled-meat texture without relying on artificial additives or heavily processed ingredients. It contains no GMOs, preservatives, or synthetic fillers, making it a clean, satisfying option for both plant-based eaters and consumers looking to switch things up.
Replacing Mucho Burrito’s previous plant-based crumble, the new Shiitake Carnitas offers a more flavorful and natural alternative. Guests can enjoy it in burritos, bowls, tacos, or quesadillas.
Interested consumers can visit MUCHO Burrito locations to explore the chain's menu options.
