What Are Taco Bell Nacho Fries?
Nacho Fries are crispy french fries coated in Taco Bell’s bold Mexican seasoning. They come with a cup of warm nacho cheese sauce for dipping. The seasoning gives them a savory, slightly spicy kick that plain fries don’t have.
Nacho Fries Seasoning and Diet Notes
Taco Bell describes the seasoning as bold Mexican spices. It tastes more savory than hot.
Two things matter if you have a special diet:
- Shared fryer: Taco Bell says it may use the same frying oil for menu items that could contain meat, so Nacho Fries aren’t a strict vegetarian choice.
- Dairy: the nacho cheese sauce contains dairy.
