Spicy Steak-Topped Fries

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Taco Bell's Steak Rattlesnake Fries are Doused in a Creamy Jalapeño Sauce

— February 22, 2019 — Lifestyle
Taco Bell's beloved Nacho Fries are about to get a piquant upgrade with the launch of Steak Rattlesnake Fries. But be careful because these new spicy fries pack a powerful bite—just like a real rattlesnake.

Similar to its popular Nacho Fries, Taco Bell's new Steak Rattlesnake Fries features a serving of the chain's seasoned fries topped with a warm nacho cheese sauce. However, the new version features meaty hunks of steak and the spicy addition of creamy jalapeño sauce and pickled jalapeños. The firey dish can even be enjoyed burrito-style in a soft, warm tortilla for an on-the-go-snack.

While the Steak Rattlesnake Fries were originally tested in Columbus, Ohio last summer, the spicy side dish is now available at participating Taco Bell locations across the US.
