Those sassy little packets don’t just come in red, orange, or yellow.

If you’re a fan of guac, you’re in luck because you can add it to every burrito you order. Tell yourself it’s healthier than adding their nacho cheese.

The intense version of The Hulk, for those who don’t just like guac and big burritos – they love them.

How to order: Order a Beefy 5-Layer burrito with guac instead of nacho cheese. You can also make it ‘fresco’ and add sour cream and salsa if that’s your thing.
