Moe's Southwest Grill teamed up with food-obsessed teen podcast hosts and creators, MD Foodie Boyz, to launch its first-ever snack-sized menu item: Grilled Burrito Dippers. The Moe's x MD Foodie Boyz collab entices snackers with a handheld mini burrito built for moments in between meals, where chips aren't enough but a full-size burrito is too filling.
Grilled Burrito Dippers are loaded with a customer's choice of protein, Oaxaca cheese, Moe's famous queso, and a dipping sauce, which keeps the experience feeling fresh when one choice is swapped out for another customizable option. While fans of creamy, smoky flavor profiles may gravitate toward Chipotle Ranch for dunking their bite-sized grilled burrito, the zesty, tangy and slightly spicy Chili Lime sauce is another novel way to enhance a Grilled Burrito Dipper.
