Taco Bell has announced the return of its much-loved Dipping Burrito and two other items For a limited time only.
Starting from 18th December, fast food chain is bringing back the Quesarito by overwhelming fan demand. Announcing the comeback on Instagram, Taco Bell joked that customers might finally stop commenting “bring back the Quesarito” on its posts.
First launched in 2014, the Quesarito combines seasoned beef, seasoned rice, chipotle sauce and reduced-fat sour cream, all wrapped inside a grilled quesadilla to create a burrito-like shell packed with melted cheese and nacho cheese sauce.
The dish went viral shortly after its debut, thanks to a commercial that aired during the 2014 NBA Draft. This ad became famous when the Denver Nuggets selected Nikola Jokic, with his name only appearing as a small on-screen graphic while the spot was playing.
“We heard our fans loud and clear,” Luis Restrepo, Taco Bell’s chief marketing officer, said in a statement shared in a press release. “His passion turned the Quesarito into a Taco Bell legend and bringing it back for the holidays felt like the perfect way to celebrate that energy. And as for the moment that helped keep its story alive – Jokic, we hope there are no hard feelings.”
Also adding to Taco Bell’s list of limited-time menu items are Cheesy Dipping Burritos. The snack-sized burritos — which feature a choice of slow-roasted chicken or steak, avocado ranch sauce and cheese — come with three dipping sauce options, including Creamy Garlic Sauce.
However, if you don’t want Creamy Garlic Sauce with your two burritos, which cost $5.49, you can opt for Creamy Chipotle Sauce or Nacho Cheese Sauce.
Additionally, Taco Bell’s Steak Garlic Nacho Fries, priced at $4.99, are making a return. Along with its signature creamy garlic sauce, this dish comes with steak cheese, nacho cheese sauce and pico de gallo.
“The community showed us how powerful a simple drizzle of creamy garlic sauce can be. What started as a fan hack quickly became a shared passion, and we made sure to listen,” Liz Matthews, Taco Bell’s global chief food innovation officer, said in a statement. “Bringing back Cheesy Dipping Burritos with Steak Garlic Nacho Fries celebrates the role our fans played in this menu innovation and delivers the bold flavor garlic lovers crave.”
Last month, Taco Bell made headlines with its limited-time dessert offering: the Baja Blast Pie, inspired by the fast food chain’s iconic drink of the same name, which was created by Mountain Dew. The bright teal-colored, key lime-flavored dessert was topped with smooth whipped cream and had a graham-crumb crust.
Many Taco Bell lovers questioned the dessert’s appearance, while others shared their mixed reviews about the pie’s taste.
