For the first time in five years, Tex-Mex chain Chipotle is releasing a new dip called Adobo Ranch.
According to the company, Adobo Ranch is Chipotle's first new dip since Queso Blanco, which was released in February 2020. The dip is made with all real ingredients.
The dip will be available at all Chipotle locations in the U.S. and Canada starting on June 17. Chipotle Rewards members will get to try a free side of Adobo Ranch on June 17, the company said in a news release.
In order to try the dip for free, customers must enroll in Chipotle Rewards by 11 p.m. local time on Monday, June 16. New Chipotle Rewards members can also get a free guac.
Here's what to know about Chiptle's latest release.

Funk pioneer Sly Stone, leader of Sly and the Family Stone, dies at 82
Funk pioneer Sly Stone, leader of Sly and the Family Stone, dies at 82 Sly Stone, a onetime San Francisco DJ turned pop and funk music innovator, has died. He was 82. "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone," a statement shared with USA TODAY on June 9 reads. "After a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family. "While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come." Sly Stone's 5 essential songs: From 'Everyday People' to 'Stand!' After huge chart-topping success in the 1960s and 1970s, Stone had become an enigmatic and largely reclusive figure plagued by homelessness and health issues. He also had endured financial problems amid management disputes, at one point winning a $5 million judgment for unpaid royalties that was later overturned. In one dire period, reports indicated that the Woodstock icon was living in a van in Los Angeles. But despite such misfortunes, the music created by the Texas-born California transplant and his trendsetting multi-racial, multi-gendered Bay Area band, the Family Stone, had never stopped being a touchstone for generations of musicians. Among Stone's oft-covered but never matched hits are "I Want to Take You Higher," "Hot Fun in the Summertime," "Stand!" and the infectious and phonetically titled funk anthem, "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)." The statement from Stone's family hailed him as "a monumental figure, a groundbreaking innovator and a true pioneer who redefined the landscape of pop, funk and rock music,' one whose songs 'have left an indelible mark on the world, and his influence remains undeniable.' Stone's family noted that the musician had recently completed a screenplay for his life story and concluded: "We extend our deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and prayers during this difficult time. We wish peace and harmony to all who were touched by Sly's life and his iconic music." Stone was born Sylvester Stewart on March 14, 1943, in Denton, Texas, but grew up in the northern San Francisco suburb of Vallejo, where he and his siblings quickly mastered a variety of instruments, notably guitar and keyboards. In the mid-'60s, just as the San Francisco music scene was exploding with global impact, Stone served both as a record producer and disc jockey at KSOL, whose listeners immediately took to his deep, resonant voice as he shared an incessant stream of hits being generated from area groups. In 1966, spurred on by the local revolution that was birthing bands such as Jefferson Airplane, Santana and the Grateful Dead, Stone decided to combine his fledgling band with one led by his brother Freddie, forming Sly and the Family Stone. Hits followed in short order, starting with 1968's "Dance to the Music" and "Everyday People," both of which celebrated the sheer and simple joy created when music brings the masses together. But Stone's compositions also frequently plumbed deep depths, with lyrics that pierced as ably as they moved. In "Family Affair," Stone's sensitive growl intones: "One child grows up to be/ Somebody that just loves to learn/ And another child grows up to be/ Somebody you'd just love to burn/ Mom loves both of them/ You see, it's in the blood/ Both kids are good to mom/ Blood's thicker than the mud." By 1969, Stone and his group were among the most well-known bands in the nation, and performed a memorable set at that year's Woodstock festival in upstate New York, a hallmark of which was the band's audience-lifting rendition of "I Want to Take You Higher." The band also performed that year at the Summer of Soul concert in Harlem, an event memorialized in the documentary of the same name by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson. (Questlove went on to direct 'Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius), a 2025 Hulu documentary focused on Stone.) While Stone's band was among the earliest of the '60s groups to feature a mix of genders and races (including founding member and trumpet player Cynthia Robinson and founding drummer Greg Errico), Stone was the leader and visionary who steered the band's direction. Often cloaked in elaborate stage clothing, his massive Afro glowing, Stone's looks and music were an indisputable harbinger of the coming funk revolution that would take the foundational innovations of James Brown and propel it to an otherworldly showboating level as best exemplified by the huge success of '70s legends such as George Clinton and his Parliament-Funkadelic band. But the rocketship ride to fame would quickly come crashing back to earth. By 1971, with the band addled by drug use and internal strife, Sly and the Family Stone would increasingly lose tour bookings and fail to produce music that matched the songs of just a few years prior. While Stone spent the '70s working on new music, often on his own since he played numerous instruments, success proved elusive. In 1983, he was arrested in Florida on drug charges. More trouble and misfortune found its way to Stone's doorstep in the coming years, although in 1993 he did make a public appearance during the band's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. A decade later, in 2005, Stone, by now almost a legendary ghost, was spotted at a Los Angeles club after driving his sister Vet, who was in a Family Stone tribute band, to her gig on his motorcycle. The next year, Stone shocked thrilled attendees at the Grammy Awards by taking the stage, resplendent in a huge blond mohawk, as his band roared through a number of hits during the show's salute to the seminal group. In 2009, documentarian Willem Alkema released "Coming Back for More," a look at Stone's life and career. The director told journalists at the time that Stone was homeless, but the pioneering musician nonetheless made a number of appearances, however brief, at California festivals. In 2023, Stone released his autobiography, the first book released by Questlove's imprint, which aptly took its title from his song, "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)." The book received mixed reviews, as its subject seemed a bit at a loss to recall that epic golden period so long ago that created those unforgettable songs. But one excerpt captures the delightful lyricism that he brought to his hits, and serves as a reminder that genius never really fades. Of many others who over the years tried to tell Stone's story, he wrote: 'They're trying to set the record straight. But a record's not straight, especially when you're not. It's a circle with a spiral inside it. Every time a story is told, it's a test of memory and motive. … It isn't evil but it isn't good. It's the name of the game but a shame just the same.'

These are the must watch shows this summer USA TODAY's TV critic Kelly Lawler breaks down the best TV shows you don't to want to miss this summer Belly and the boys will be returning to Cousins for the last time. Season 3 of "The Summer I Turned Pretty," a coming-of-age romantic television series based on the popular book trilogy by Jenny Han, premieres July 16 on Amazon Prime Video. The show, which takes place over many-a summer, follows the ongoing love triangle between Belly (Lola Tung) and brothers, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) as they navigate life and one immeasurable loss. The last time we saw Belly ("The Summer I Turned Pretty" Season 2 finale), she decided to put the past and her feelings for first love Conrad in the rearview as she focuses on her future and her budding relationship with Jeremiah. But the past, specifically Conrad, has a habit of reappearing when its least convenient for Belly, who tries but fails to keep her feelings at bay. Belly's left to make a huge decision, one that will change the course of their lives forever, by the end of the summer. While the essence of the original story has remained intact, Han is known for having a few tricks up her sleeve, and this season won't be any different. "There are going to be surprises," Han, creator and showrunner, told Entertainment Weekly on June 5. "There are the things that they know and then there are things they think they know, and then there's going to be, hopefully, things that surprise them." Here's what we know about Belly's "last" summer in Cousins, including how to tune in. Where will 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 pick up? Many, but not all viewers, know what's going to happen next and how it's going to end. For those who haven't read the books or simply don't remember the Season 2 finale, the new season will pick up with Belly, who is looking forward to another summer in Cousins with Jeremiah after her junior year of college. (Seemingly everyone, except Jeremiah, knows that Conrad still has a place in Belly's heart.) "Her future seems set, until some core-shaking events bring her first love Conrad back into her life," according to official logline for Season 3. "Now on the brink of adulthood, Belly finds herself at a crossroads and must decide which brother has her heart. Summer will never be the same." While Belly's decision is the focus of Season 3, other characters like Taylor and Steven will likely have a moment in the spotlight.
