Mucho Burrito seeks to delight its fans and lovers of spicy foods by bringing back the [Ghost](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-burrito) Pepper Burrito. This limited-time return is bound to generate a spicy surprise for consumers this fall. Served on a sundried tomato tortilla with grilled chicken, the burrito comes in two versions. The Whimpy boasts a moderate level of spiciness and is accessible to a wider range of eaters. The Hotter Than Hell option, on the other hand, is for the boldest spice enthusiasts. Both versions of the Original Ghost Pepper Burrito feature [ghost pepper bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-pepper-cheese), ghost pepper fig marmalade, and [diced jalapeno peppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-blaze-jalapeo-double). Hotter Than Hell amps up the heat with a special ghost pepper sauce. Traditional ingredients like brown rice, black beans, cheese, fajita vegetables, sour cream, and salsa complete the burrito.
