You can never accuse Taco Bell of resting on their spicy laurels.
The Mexican fast food giant is always remixing their meals, and this time, they’re bringing back a fan favorite -- Nacho Fries. But they aren’t stopping there.

Since they were first introduced in 2018, bringing back the beloved fries then yanking them away again seems to be a sadistic pattern with the chain. This will be the seventh time they’ve been brought back.
As Thrillist confirms, the chain announced today that once again Nacho Fries will be available to order at its locations nationwide, starting Wednesday, July 22.
But this time, they are adding a tasty twist to, well, spice things up. (What, you thought they’d tone it down?)
The new take is called Loaded Taco Nacho Fries (inspired by the Loaded Nacho Taco). And in case the name didn’t give you a hint, these fries come covered in nacho cheese sauce, reduced-fat sour cream, and a plop of seasoned beef.

Judging by the provided photo of the menu item, it also appears to feature red tortilla strips and maybe a sprinkle of shredded cheese. There may or may not also be some greenery of some kind in there -- you’ll just have to go get it to find out.
According to a company spokesperson, the spicy treats will be available to order on their own for around $1.39 or as part of a $5 box that adds the fries along with a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, a Crunchy Taco, and a medium drink.
Taco Bell will be plastering screens with a crazy animated trailer for the new-ish item. That won’t start streaming until July 23, so this fairly involved plot summary from the company will have to suffice -- and it’s a doozy.
"The ad spot follows the story of Rei, who is the leader of ‘Fry Force,’ an elite group that has kept Mexican-spice-loving monsters at bay. She’s driven by the disappearance of her brother and vows to protect the world to what it holds dear: Nacho Fries. But in order to save the future of the fan-favorite menu item, she will be forced to confront her past."
And that’s not the only creative concocting Taco Bell has worked on this summer. Did you know there’s a new Chalupa shell out there?
Who knew mixing and matching the same seven ingredients and some spice packets all the time would become so complicated?
