Taco Bell Introduces New Grilled Cheese Nacho Fries

Taco Bell has brought back their ever-popular Nacho Fries with a new variation – Grilled Cheese Nacho Fries. The new fries were first tested in 2022 at a Taco Bell location in Sacramento, California, and were such a hit that they now are available nationwide for $4.99 while supplies last.

The Grilled Cheese Nacho Fries were inspired by the chain’s Grilled Cheese Burrito and feature grilled, marinated steak, chipotle sauce, and plenty of cheese with Taco Bell’s signature Nacho Cheese sauce along with a blend of mozzarella, Monterey pepper jack, and cheddar cheeses. The cheesy fries are also grilled before being served.

Even though the Grilled Cheese Nacho Fries are a limited-time menu item, Taco Bell is considering making them a permanent addition. Mark King, CEO of Taco Bell said, “People that go to lunch want to have french fries…We’re looking at and testing bringing fries permanently onto the menu”, so if you’re a Taco Bell fries fan this may be good news for you.

Available via Taco Bell's Taco Shop and CALPAK's official website is a capsule luggage collection inspired by Taco Bell's classic hot sauce packets. Among the items in the collection are a carry-on suitcase, a duffle bag, a cross-body bag and five-piece packing cube set.

"Compact enough to effortlessly slide into the overhead compartment, FIRE! is the perfect rolling cabin-sized companion. Soft-sided with a zippered front pocket, 360-degree spinner wheels and a removable zippered pouch, this spicy little number has all travel needs covered. It makes it easy as ever to be good to go from TSA to taxi with a TSA-accepted lock, plus a cushioned top and side handles."

"The must-have duffel bag is both lightweight and spacious. With a convenient zippered front pocket, large bottom compartment (the best place to pack your shoes!) and removable crossbody strap, the new HOT! Duffel Bag was made to make last-minute trips all the easier. The luggage sleeve is perfect for sliding onto a suitcase handle to stack packing gear, and its removable pouch and interior mesh pockets make organization a breeze."

"Pack smarter with travel pouches that make staying organized all the more fulfilling. The set comes with one large, one medium and two smalls — plus a water-resistant envelope for all important essentials. A breathable mesh top, personal ID tag and back zippered pocket help seal the deal."
