Taco Bell's Nacho Fries makes a menu return for the sixth time in four years, this time with a loaded taco-style option. The fan-favorite is officially returning on July 22nd. Dusted with spicy seasoning, the Nacho Fries are served with a nacho cheese dipping sauce.
For the first time in Nacho Fries' history, Taco Bell goers can opt for a loaded taco-style option. The new food add-ons include a layer of warm nacho cheese, sour cream, and beef over top of the spicy potatoes. Taco Bell's Nacho Fries were last on the menu in January 2020. However, the short-term availability of the specialty item seems to increase customer appeal, making the Nacho Fries one of the most desired options on the menu.
