CHIPOTLE fans have a new menu option inspired by two TikTok influencers.
The new Fajita Quesadilla launches on March 2 but Chipotle has a twist - it's a digital-only exclusive and The U.S. Sun had a chance to try it before it hits restaurants.

For the first time ever, guests will be able to order a quesadilla with Monterey jack cheese and fajita vegetables.
There was massive demand for this order after it went viral on TikTok, but it posed a challenge for Chipotle employees, since it wasn't an official menu item.
Fans can choose from:
- Steak quesadilla with fajita veggies
- Chicken quesadilla with fajita veggies
- Barbacoa quesadilla with fajita veggies
- Carnitas quesadilla with fajita veggies
- Sofritas quesadilla with fajita veggies

The meal comes with your choice of three sides and it's priced starting at $9.50.
Keep in mind, pricing and availability will vary by location.
CHEESY GOODNESS
The U.S. Sun had a chance to try out the newest menu item before it's available to the public.
We ordered the chicken quesadilla with a side of sour cream, black beans, and rice.

It was a hefty serving, and the sides were all a decent amount as well.
The quesadilla comes in a container with three separate compartments for the sides, which are the perfect shape for dipping the quesadilla.
It's the same container Chipotle uses for the kid's "build our own" menu item.
As for this new menu addition, the Monterey jack cheese was melting out of the tortilla and added a burst of flavor to the classic chicken and fajita vegetables.
Overall, we gave it a 10 out of 10.
GOING VIRAL
Chipotle's newest menu creation first hit the scene last year when TikTok creator Alexis Frost (@alexis.frost) ordered a steak quesadilla with fajita veggies after a Chipotle employee told her it was their go-to order.
Alexis gave it a perfect 10 rating, and her 2.4million followers quickly spread the word.
Food critic Keith Lee (@keith_lee125) caught wind of the new trend and ordered it himself.
Keith put his own take on the menu hack by mixing Chipotle's classic honey vinaigrette with sour cream to make a dipping sauce.
After trying the quesadilla with his special sauce, he gave it a 10 out of 10.
Keith's order, a fajita steak quesadilla with roasted chili-corn salsa, sour cream, and honey vinaigrette, has been dubbed the "Keithadilla."
“I never could have imagined that I’d have my own menu item at Chipotle,” he said.
