"You probably know all about dragon sauce, which is Chipotle's sour cream mixed with its tomatillo-red chili salsa, aka the spiciest salsa on the menu. But if you want to take your queso to new heights, order a side of the tomatillo-red chili salsa, mix it with the queso blanco, and voilà, spicy queso. The amount of spice you want will determine how much salsa you add. That red stuff can be quite hot, so start slow and taste as you go."
"Maybe you get white or brown rice, black or pinto beans, and chicken, steak, carnitas, or some other meat. In most cases, the base of your burrito or bowl is going to kind of taste the same - that is, unless you get a little wild and order a secret menu item like a quesarito, which also recreates a discontinued Taco Bell favorite, a burritodilla, or even some makeshift nachos."
Social media has popularized numerous Chipotle secret menu combinations that alter burritos, bowls, and salads. Mixing tomatillo-red chili salsa with queso blanco creates a customizable spicy queso; the tomatillo-green chili salsa yields a milder variant. Dragon sauce is a blend of sour cream and tomatillo-red salsa. Other creative sauce hacks include stirring chipotle-honey vinaigrette with sour cream for a tangy, sweet, creamy drizzle and adding tomatillo-red salsa to vinaigrette for heat. New permanent sauces such as queso blanco and red chimichurri expand customization options and encourage experimentation with sides and dressings.
