Burger King is Testing New Fiery Queso Tots in Nashville

— October 26, 2024 — Lifestyle
Burger King is going all in on tater tots this month with the return of its fan-favorite Cheesy Tots and the debut of its new Fiery Queso Tots.

Burger King's Cheesy Tots were first introduced back in 2016 as a limited-time offering and then made a brief return in 2023. Now it seems that the cheesy side dish is back again for a limited time. This snackable option consists of coin-shaped tater tots filled with gooey melty cheese on the inside and a warm, crispy coating on the outside.

On the other hand, the new Fiery Queso Tots are a brand-new offering that's currently only being tested in Nashville, Tennessee. This dish consists of the same crispy tater tots, but with a gooey queso cheese filling seasoned with zesty spices.
