Taco Bell is turning up the heat with new menu items from burritos to hot sauce.
The popular Southern California-based fast-food chain announced two new launches on Thursday: the Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito and Frank's RedHot Diablo Sauce, to pair with the return of the fan-favorite crispy chicken menu.
First up, the burrito that boasts all the familiar flavors of Flamin' Hot Fritos.
The limited-time innovation is made with an all-new Flamin' Hot rice with cheddar cheese powder, garlic, paprika and lime, Fritos Flamin' Hot corn chips for extra crunch and spice, and is layered with seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, creamy chipotle sauce, reduced-fat sour cream, and a three-cheese blend, wrapped in a tortilla that's grilled with a layer of cheese for a cheesy, spicy bite.
Taco Bell said this burrito is a nod "to the cult-favorite Beefy Crunch Burrito but pushes flavor to new heights uniting Beefy Crunch loyalists and Flamin' Hot fans alike."
The Flamin' Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito is now available nationwide for $5.49 à la carte or as part of the $9 Discovery Luxe Cravings Box, while supplies last.
Next up is the return of the crispy chicken lineup, which includes burritos, soft tacos, strips, and loaded nacho fries and now comes with the new Frank's RedHot Diablo Sauce.
The flavor mashup is described as a "creamy blend" that combines the signature buffalo flavor of Frank's RedHot with Taco Bell's signature Diablo heat and spicy ranch.
Frank's RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Burrito Crispy: Made with chicken strips, shredded lettuce, purple cabbage, pico de gallo and cheddar cheese, wrapped in a flour tortilla, grilled and finished with choice of Frank's RedHot Diablo or Avocado Ranch for $5.49.
Frank's RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Soft Taco: A soft flour tortilla filled with a Crispy Chicken strip, purple cabbage, lettuce, pico de gallo and cheddar cheese, topped with choice of Frank's RedHot Diablo or Avocado Ranch will be sold for $2.99.
