And they'll be in stores!
Prepare yourself for a spicy new development at Taco Bell. On Thursday, the brand announced that its tortilla chips were getting an important update: Coming this May, Taco Bell will release tortilla chips flavored like the chain's famous hot sauce packets. And there's more: Not only will you get an extra dose of Mild and Fire as well as a plain "Classic" when you hit the drive thru, but you can also binge on a salty and spicy snack whenever you want. How? Because the new chips will be sold in grocery and convenience stores — but the inspiration doesn't just stop at flavor. The classic designs and "saucy wisdoms" printed on your typical packets will also be printed on the chip packaging.
But prepare your mouth before making your final selection — these flavors are no joke. While the Classic tortilla chips are plain and salted, the Mild flavor is seasoned with hints of three chili peppers and cumin. And the Fire tortilla chips kick things up further, with jalapeño, chili peppers, and paprika. Basically, they're the definition of the fire emoji. No word on pricing just yet, but there will be enough for a little snack or a big family-sized party; the Fire and Mild flavors will be sold in 1-ounce, 3.5-ounce, 11-ounce, and 30-ounce bags, and the Classic chips will be solid in 1-ounce, 3.5-ounce, 13-ounce, and 30-ounce bags, according to TB.
We're ready to get lost in the sauce.
