TikTok has given us many polarizing food trends this year, and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos salad is the latest to throw its hat in the ring. It’s one of those viral crazes that you’ll either love or hate, and here’s everything you should know about it if you’re willing to give it a shot.
TikTok user rxthism has been credited for coming up with this trend, after posting a recipe for this treat back in late August. Her video eventually went viral, and many of her fellow TikTok users decided to give it a try because it’s incredibly easy to recreate her recipe.

The best thing about this viral food is that it only takes five ingredients to make it. You’ll start with a bowl of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, add some cilantro, cucumbers, lemon juice, and Tapatío hot sauce, and mix all the ingredients together until well-combined to get this crunchy salad.
If you’re a huge fan of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, this salad could be your cup of tea, but everyone else should tread lightly before trying it. Tapatío hot sauce is the main ingredient after all, and no other brand should be used as a replacement, so you should be ready for things to get pretty spicy.
