DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — For the first time in five years, Chipotle is adding a brand new sauce to its menu.

Starting June 17, Chipotle locations across the U.S. and Canada will offer Adobo Ranch. According to the chain, the new sauce is described as a smoky and spicy twist on ranch.

The new sauce is made of adobo pepper, sour cream, and various herbs and spices.

According to Chris Brandt, president and chief brand officer at Chipotle, Gen Z has contributed to making ranch “a cultural phenomenon.”

“Our new Adobo Ranch taps into this passion, giving fans a craveworthy way to customize their Chipotle order with a completely new flavor,” said Brandt.

On the first offering day, Chipotle Rewards members can receive a free offer for the new sauce with a minimum purchase of $5 on their account. Accounts must be made by 11 p.m. local time on June 16.

In 2020, the company introduced Queso Blanco to its customers nationwide.

Earlier this year, Chipotle added a new protein option, Chipotle Honey Chicken, to its menu.
