The [Wendy’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheezit-and-wendys) Loaded Nacho menu items are being added to the brand's Made to Crave lineup as a series of extra-cheesy offerings perfect for fans to try out this summer. The menu items include the Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger, the Loaded Nacho Chicken Sandwich and the [Queso Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caliente-cantina-chicken-nacho-fries), which are each made with cheesy ingredients to prioritize a satisfying flavor. The Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger and the Loaded Nacho Chicken Sandwich are both topped with American cheese, a roasted poblano queso, spicy chipotle sauce, lettuce, tomato and spicy corn and tortilla strips all served on a jalapeño cheddar burger.

The Wendy’s Loaded Nacho menu items are arriving now at participating locations in the US, but are a limited time offering only around for a short while.
