In a video that’s racked up more than 6.7 million views in just four days, Chipotle filmed its employees preparing the dish.
The mesmerizing — and slightly bizarre — clip shows just how simple the recipe is.
Mouth-watering reactions aside, the video seems to be going viral for another reason, too. The clip’s style, according to many commenters, is extremely TikTok.
From its strange, auto-tuned backing music to its quick-cutting scenes, the video strongly resembles other types of videos that spread rapidly on the app. In fact, the recipe felt so on-brand that many said it had to have been made by a Gen Zer.
“I know they got a Gen Z to do this for them,” one user wrote
“That moment when Chipotle really understands how to communicate with Gen Z,” another added.
Others simply enjoyed the skillful branding, complimenting Chipotle on the clip’s style.
“See Chipotle gets it,” one user wrote.
“They know what’s up,” another added.
In addition to the video, Chipotle fans seemed excited to get a peek at how the chain’s rice is made. For anyone looking to try it, all you need is rice, cilantro, lime juice and some salt.
