Chipotle has named a burrito after Miley Cyrus after the popstar left a comment on the restaurant’s TikTok account.

On Tuesday, Chipotle joined in on a trend which saw TikTok users asking for Cyrus’ to comment on their videos.

In the video, Chipotle showed off a burrito with the name Miley written on it, which it captioned: “If Miley Cyrus comments we’ll make a Miley burrito in our app.”

The challenge prompted a response from the 28-year-old, who wrote in the comments: “Only if you name it ‘the guac is extra but so is Miley burrito.’”

After asking the singer to direct-message the restaurant her go-to order, Chipotle revealed on Wednesday that it had followed through with its promise.

“We weren’t kidding, @Miley Cyrus,” the brand wrote on Twitter, alongside screenshots of the original video, Cyrus’ comment, and the option to choose the new vegetarian burrito on the Chipotle app, which includes white rice, black beans, veggies, roasted chili-corn salsa, tomatillo-red chili salsa, romaine lettuce and guacamole.

In a follow-up tweet, Chipotle confirmed that the $8.75 burrito is available now, writing: “Miley stans: the Guac Is Extra But So Is Miley Burrito is live in the Chipotle app now!”

While the order is vegetarian, Cyrus revealed in September that she no longer follows a strict vegan diet after she found that it was having a negative impact on her health.

“I was vegan for a very long time and I’ve had to introduce fish and omegas into my life because my brain wasn’t functioning properly,” the Midnight Sky singer told Joe Rogan on his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience.

In regards to her TikTok usage, this is not the first time she has offered her opinions in the comments of viral videos.

In response to one clip showing a couple dancing to her song Plastic Hearts with the caption: “If Miley Cyrus comments we will get married,” Cyrus wrote: “ "Hope it goes better for you two than it did for me.”
