Rejoice, fast-food fanatics! Taco Bell’s beloved Nacho Fries are making a triumphant return on April 25th, 2024. But this isn’t just any comeback – this time, they’ve got a spicy surprise up their sleeve, or should we say, on the side for dipping. Partnering with hot sauce extraordinaire Secret Aardvark, Taco Bell is introducing the all-new Secret Aardvark Nacho Fries, promising an “irresistible match made in heaven.”
The Nacho Fries themselves are the familiar crowd-pleasers we all know and love. Seasoned with Taco Bell’s signature Mexican spices, these crispy delights are the perfect base for a flavor explosion. But it’s the new Secret Aardvark Serrabano Ranch Sauce that truly elevates this offering. Made with green tomatoes, roasted tomatillos, serrano, and green habanero peppers, this sauce boasts a unique blend of heat and zest. The zesty ranch cuts through the tangy sweetness of the tomatillos, while the peppers deliver a kick that’s sure to tantalize taste buds.
This isn’t Taco Bell’s first foray into flavor innovation with the Nacho Fries. They’ve been a recurring menu item for over a decade, each return often featuring a new twist. Last year, we saw the Yellowbird Nacho Fries featuring a spicy habanero ranch sauce, and before that, we had Nacho Fries Supreme with seasoned beef, creamy jalapeno sauce, and shredded cheese.
This latest partnership with Secret Aardvark signifies a strategic move by Taco Bell. By collaborating with a popular hot sauce brand, they’re not just offering a new flavor, they’re tapping into a growing consumer interest in bold and adventurous tastes. Secret Aardvark, known for its handcrafted hot sauces with a loyal following, adds a touch of gourmet appeal to the value-driven menu of Taco Bell.
The “revolutionary partnership,” as Taco Bell calls it, promises to usher in a “new era of flavor.” Stacy Mortiz, owner of Secret Aardvark, echoes this sentiment, highlighting the “innovative blend of heat and zest” in their new Serrabano Ranch Sauce.
But what exactly can we expect from this flavor combination? Reviews suggest the Secret Aardvark sauce offers a medium heat level, perfect for those who enjoy a little spice without setting their taste buds on fire. The tangy tomatillos and creamy ranch create a well-rounded flavor profile that complements the savory fries beautifully.
