MUCHO Burrito launches its boldest creation yet -- the 'Ghost Pepper Burrito' -- just in time to prove that spice and summer are the perfect pairing. Now available at participating locations across Canada, this limited-time offering harnesses the power of capsaicin -- the fiery compound in ghost peppers -- to help diners cool down by heating up.
Packed with craveable heat and balanced flavor, the burrito features MUCHO’s signature ghost pepper sauce, ghost pepper fig marmalade, crispy ghost pepper onions, fire-grilled chicken, chipotle black beans, rice, fajita veggies, cheese, salsa, jalapeños, sour cream, and cilantro -- all wrapped in a striking red tortilla. It’s science-backed heat that makes you sweat and feel good: capsaicin triggers the release of endorphins and dopamine, giving fans that 'runner’s high' with every bite.
Available for a limited time only, this burrito brings a new kind of thrill to the summer menu.
