Del Taco Just Turned Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Into Queso
Flamin’ Hot Cheetos have already found their way onto damn near everything, but Del Taco may have found their natural habitat: a vat of queso.
The chain just launched a new Flamin’ Hot Queso menu built around its queso blanco mixed with Flamin’ Hot seasoning, turning the usually pale cheese dip a very familiar shade of red while bringing the heat of the iconic snack along with it.
Naturally, Del Taco didn’t stop at chips and queso. The Flamin’ Hot treatment stretches across six menu items:
- Flamin’ Hot Queso Beef Roller: Seasoned ground beef, Flamin’ Hot Queso, and grated cheddar cheese rolled inside a warm flour tortilla.
- Flamin’ Hot Queso & Chips: Flamin’ Hot Queso served alongside house-made tortilla chips.
- Flamin’ Hot Queso Crispy Chicken Burrito: Crispy chicken strips, crinkle-cut fries, Flamin’ Hot Queso, grated cheddar cheese, and sour cream wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.
- Flamin’ Hot Queso Loaded Fries: Crinkle-cut fries loaded with seasoned ground beef, Flamin’ Hot Queso, grated cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños.
- Epic Flamin’ Hot Queso Grilled Chicken Burrito: Grilled marinated chicken, crinkle-cut fries, Flamin’ Hot Queso, and grated cheddar cheese stuffed inside an oversized flour tortilla.
- Flamin’ Hot Queso Loaded Nachos: House-made tortilla chips topped with your choice of seasoned ground beef, grilled marinated chicken, or carne asada steak, plus slow-cooked beans, Flamin’ Hot Queso, sour cream, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños.
And because apparently there’s no such thing as too much Flamin’ Hot, Del Taco is also selling 2-ounce bags of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos while supplies last.
The full Flamin’ Hot Queso menu is available now at participating Del Taco locations nationwide through November 18.
