Taco Bell is testing a spicy burrito topped with Pop Rocks
Taco Bell‘s test kitchen is working harder than a one-eyed cat watching two mouse holes. This month, the Tex-Mex giant gave us Kit Kat-stuffed “quesadillas,” and now, for a limited-time only, the chain is testing another innovative item: the Firecracker Burrito.
According to Brand Eating, Taco Bell’s Firecracker Burrito gets its name from sweet and spicy “cayenne popping crystals” that come in a pouch on the side. The burrito itself is made of ground beef, nacho cheese, seasoned rice, spicy sauce, sour cream, and crunchy tortilla strips wrapped in a red flour tortilla. The popping candies are meant to be sprinkled on top as you eat.
For $2.49, customers can purchase a “Popping Spicy” or “Popping Cheesy” version. The cheesy option comes without the spicy sauce. It’s also being offered in a $5 Box with a Doritos Locos Taco, Crunchy Taco, and medium fountain drink.
