Taco Bell is bringing back fan favorite menu item Nacho Fries, but with a twist. On Thursday, Taco Bell announced that Nacho Fries are back on the menu as of that day, but on October 12th, fans of the snack will get to enjoy them in an all-new way with the arrival of Vegan Nacho Sauce. According to Taco Bell, the launch of Vegan Nacho Sauce is part of the brand's overall commitment to provide food for all lifestyles and comes after the sauce's previous appearance in the Vegan Crunchwrap which was tested earlier this year.  Those tests went over well with consumers, leading to the rollout in October.

"We're thrilled to reintroduce Nacho Fries, now with a larger-than-life flair, and our beloved Vegan Nacho Sauce," Liz Matthews, Global Chief Food Innovation Officer at Taco Bell, shares her excitement "This sauce, born from the success of our Vegan Crunchwrap, represents Taco Bell's commitment to providing delicious, craveable food for a variety of lifestyles – whether you're vegan, flexitarian or want to try something new, there's a place for you at our table. "

Nacho Fries with Vegan Nacho Sauce will come in two sizes: regular with a suggested price of $2.19 and large with a suggested price of $2.99. The Vegan Nacho Sauce will be available starting October 12th while Nacho Fries with regular nacho sauce is available now.
