FAST FOOD NEWS: Taco Bell Cheetos Burrito

Taco Bell Cheetos Burrito

Taco Bell is testing a one dollar burrito with Cheetos inside it.

Impulsive Buy reader Craig took the photo above at a Taco Bell location in Fairfield, Ohio. He did give it a try and said, “The Cheetos were chewy and thus, seemed stale. Don’t know if they actually were, or if that was just an effect of whatever cooking/heating process they went through.”

According to Brand Eating, the burrito is stuffed with rice, sour cream, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, and Crunchy Cheetos. Brand Eating also says the rice is made with a new recipe that’s meant to be a little more buttery.
