Fast food giant Wendy’s is setting taste buds ablaze with rumors of bringing a spicy, international menu item to the US: Tajin fries. The tangy and fiery side dish, currently a hit in El Salvador, has fans chomping at the bit for its potential arrival.
According to Instagram fast food influencer, The Snackolator – the Tajin Fries were recently featured at a Wendy’s event in the US which means they may be priming for a nationwide roll-out sometime in the near future.
News of the potential addition of perfectly seasoned fries dusted with the Mexican chili-lime spice mix has some excited for the. Some fans are ecstatic, envisioning a flavor explosion with their next Frosty and nuggets but others commenting on The Snackolators post revelation were non-plussed by the news, unsure if they’re ready for a citrusy flavor on their fries.
The official verdict on Tajin fries is still out, but the rumor has excited and disgusted some fans. In the meantime, Wendy’s recent $3 breakfast item launch and the return of theSprite Remix Aruba Jam soda offer some flavor-packed options for those looking to spice up their orders.
Taco Bell has also tested the addition of Tajin seasoning to three menu items in Irvine, California this year. They added it to the side, Cinnamon Twists (Tajin Twists), as a beverage the Tajin Strawberry Freeze and a Tajin Crunchy Taco. They’re still in the early stages of testing so there’s no word yet on when a nationwide rollout can be expected.
Will the Tajin fries become a reality on US menus? This potential addition could spice things up, proving that a little international flavor can go a long way in the US. Even leading to other possible international cross-overs and collaborations.
