# One-of-a-Kind Taco Meals Taco Bell is Bringing Back the Enchirito for the First Time in 10 Years By Colin Smith | Published 2022-11-21 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enchirito References: [washingtonpost](https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2022/11/18/taco-bell-enchirito-nacho-fries/)  [Taco Bell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-enchilada-burrito) announced the 'Enchirito' is coming to its menus nationwide for the first time in nearly 10 years. The Enchirito is an in-house creation from Taco Bell that blends crispy tacos with burrito bowls. The Taco Bell Enchirito is a Mexican-inspired fusion dish first introduced to the restaurant chain in the 1970s. The item itself includes [seasoned beef, beans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bean-rice-and-cheese-burrito), and diced onions, wrapped in a flour tortilla and topped with melted cheese. The Enchirito was brought back by popular demand through [Taco Bell's voting program](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-fan-style-menu), which allowed customers and fans to have a direct impact on the future of the restaurant's menu. As a result, the Enchirito can be ordered from November 17th to November 30th on the Taco Bell app, in stores, or online.
