Taco Bell is marrying two classics on November 16th to get one tasty-sounding side, called the Grilled Cheese Nacho Fries.
Although the chain hasn’t officially announced the new dish, the Instagram page of The Snackalator has revealed a sneak peek of the new version of Nacho Fries. The Grilled Cheese Nacho Fries were first tested last November in Sacramento-based Taco Bells.
At the time of testing, the price was $3.99. No word yet on the official price-point as they make a nationwide pivot.
The post on The Snackalotors page said about the new dish:
“Starting November 16th you’ll be able to get the Grilled Cheese Nacho Fries in regular or spicy. They start with a layer of nacho fries that are topped with melted cheese, steak, and the option of jalapenos for an added kick,” the Snackolator Instagram.
The Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito was re-introduced back to the menu recently. It has also appeared in the past with chicken instead of steak. What better way to honor a fan favorite than with two combined heavyweights? The pairing of Spicy or Regular Nacho Fries with steak, and melted cheese is a match made.
Taco Bell also recently announced a surprising move…the testing of chicken nuggets, which contain white meat chicken marinated in jalapeno buttermilk. The chain claims their nuggets will be more “premium” than other fast food nugget offerings, and they’re currently testing in Minneapolis. The eventual feedback will determine if the chicken nuggets will launch nationwide…or not.
Taco Bell is on a high right now due to their place in the fast food world. While many chains are suffering from the effects of inflation and raising costs, Taco Bell has been able to achieve a steady stream of customers due their ability to keep value on the menu, with low priced options. Of all the chains, traffic has increased with no sign of slowing which is something the likes of KFC, and Burger King would like to achieve.
Never the chain to rest on their laurels, the Grilled Cheese Nacho Fries are just the latest addition to an ever-expanding menu at Taco Bell.
