Red Chimichurri: Drizzling Bright and Tangy Flavour Onto Every Bite
Sauces are a core factor for Gen Z’s cravings. Ninety two percent of Gen Z consumers say they would visit a restaurant just for a sauce.2 Building off the success of Adobo Ranch, Chipotle’s first new dip in five years that helped acquire new guests and drive incremental transactions, the brand is unlocking Red Chimichurri. Made with roasted garlic, fresh cilantro, chili peppers and citrus juice, Red Chimichurri packs irresistible flavour into every bite. Made each day, Red Chimichurri is prepared with only real ingredients and no artificial preservatives, colours or flavours and is served on the side to drizzle onto any entrée.
