Taco Bell Announces Comeback of Fan-Favorite Item

Things are about to get spicy...

Get your tastebuds ready, because the wait is finally over! Taco Bell is bringing back the fan-favorite Nacho Fries—and things are about to get spicy.

The restaurant chain is firing things up big time this month, with the return of the coveted Nacho Fries for a limited time only, beginning April 13. Coming back for the ninth time, the hot ticket item will be available in its classic form, as well as an additional version with an elevated twist.

This time, Taco Bell is teaming up with one of the best-selling hot sauces nationwide: Yellowbird Hot Sauce. The Austin, Texas-based brand is known for using homegrown, flavorful and premium ingredients, and the new exclusive sauce collab with Taco Bell is sure to put a kick in the brand’s iconic Nacho Fries.

"We're honored to be collaborating with the innovative team at Taco Bell to bring our signature blend of bold flavor and heat to their menu with Yellowbird Nacho Fries,” said George Milton, CEO of Yellowbird in a press release shared with Parade. “This partnership is a testament to both the growing popularity of Yellowbird and Taco Bell's commitment to taking risks and offering unique and exciting menu items for their customers. We can't wait for everyone to experience the delicious, spicy taste of Yellowbird in this exciting new form."

The sizzling new mashup is made in hot sauce heaven featuring crispy, boldly spiced slim-cut potato fries and warm nacho cheese sauce, topped with steak and Taco Bell + Yellowbird’s exclusive Spicy Habanero Ranch.

“We pride ourselves with serving bold flavors, so partnering with Yellowbird to deliver on spice and craveability feels like second nature,” said Liz Matthews, Taco Bell’s Chief Food Innovation Officer. “Yellowbird utilizes premium ingredients to create their sauces and the Spicy Habanero Ranch sauce seamlessly compliments the full Taco Bell menu. While they won’t be on the menu for long, the Yellowbird Nacho Fries are something really special we’ve been working to bring to fans everywhere."

You'll have to get your hands on these spicy snacks sooner rather than later, as they will only be available for a limited time. The Yellowbird Nacho Fries will be available for just two weeks, while the original Nacho Fries will stay on menus beyond the collaboration, for a limited time.
