In their 11th comeback to date, Taco Bell brings back fan-favorite Nacho Fries with unexpected flavor thanks to inspiration from Secret Aardvark’s Serrabanero sauce. Secret Aardvark Nacho Fries take the hot sauce brand’s Serrabanero sauce’s green tomatoes, roasted tomatillos, serrano and green habanero pepper flavors, and blends it with savory, zesty ranch for an all- new sauce experience bespoke to Taco Bell. Crispy fries are seasoned with bold Mexican spices and topped with premium, flavorful slow-roasted chicken, a three-cheese blend, reduced- fat sour cream, nacho cheese sauce and pico de gallo. Officially announced at Live Mas Live earlier this year, this revolutionary partnership heralds a new era of flavor with an innovative blend of heat and zest.

The return of Nacho Fries not only satisfies tastebuds but also makes strides in sustainability. In partnership with TerraCycle, Taco Bell’s Sauce Container US Recycling Program has recently expanded to accept not only any Brand of used sauce packets, but also any 2 oz souffle cups/lids (the vessel of beloved nacho cheese sauce), sauce dipping cups, and coffee creamer pods. After fans savor every last drop of cheesy nacho goodness, they can mail in accepted USED, empty packaging throughout the month of May to earn 80 bonus Taco Bell Rewards points. With hundreds of thousands of used sauce packets already recycled, the program’s expansion aims to further divert single-use plastic from landfills.
