Taco Bell’s Hen Fajita Nacho Fries weren’t handed to me on a scorching platter that frightens me a little bit each time I dine at a Chili’s. However the limited-time providing did make my eyes sparkle a little bit.
As you may most likely guess from the identify, what units these loaded Nacho Fries other than earlier iterations is the addition of bell peppers and onions. The slow-roasted hen and creamy jalapeño sauce have been used with a number of different Nacho Fries variants. As for the remainder of the toppings, you realize them. I do know them. So let’s say them collectively: nacho cheese sauce, bitter cream, and a mix of mozzarella, pepper jack, and cheddar cheeses.
I really feel like for a spot referred to as Taco Bell, bell peppers needs to be a typical ingredient amongst its dozens of choices. That’s my biased opinion as somebody who enjoys the vegetable sufficient to purchase a bag of them from Costco usually, however I’m glad they received some love from Taco Bell once more. (Sure, there have been different “fajita” merchandise prior to now.) By the way in which, should you’re into bell peppers however not into Nacho Fries, the chain can also be providing Fajita Road Chalupas with both hen or steak.
The gloopy toppings — bitter cream, nacho cheese sauce, and creamy jalapeño sauce — all carry a little bit of taste, particularly the latter two. Nacho cheese sauce and Nacho Fries go collectively in addition to Oreo cookies and milk, and the creamy jalapeño sauce provides a little bit of savoriness that enhances the peppers. Whereas the bitter cream has a touch of tang, its taste will get misplaced within the mixture of toppings, and the identical goes for the hen.
What doesn’t get completely misplaced are the flavors of the Nacho Fries seasoning, bell peppers, and onions. Even after being seasoned and cooked, the veggies nonetheless have some snap, which is a welcome textural distinction to the sauces and fries which have gotten a little bit soggy from the sauces. Additionally they carry a real fajita high quality to the dish. Or perhaps my style buds are simply conditioned to affiliate peppers and onions with fajitas. Both means, it really works.
One final thing in regards to the peppers. I want they got here in quite a lot of colours as a substitute of all inexperienced. I need to style the bell pepper rainbow.
Taco Bell’s Hen Fajita Nacho Fries are fairly tasty. Nevertheless, I can’t say I appreciated them greater than earlier iterations of Nacho Fries, even with my adoration for bell peppers. However I’d have loved them much less in the event that they got here on a scorching platter.
