The Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito returns to Taco Bell

Taco Bell’s Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito is back.

That’s huge news for all of us who fell in love with this item during its limited run last October.

“The Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito is back, bringing together seasoned beef, Nacho Cheese sauce, reduced-fat sour cream, spicy rice seasoned with Fritos Flamin’ Hot, Creamy Chipotle sauce, crunchy Fritos Flamin’ Hot and a three-cheese blend, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla with a melty layer of cheese grilled on the outside,” Taco Bell writes in its announcement.

The Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito isn’t alone this week. Taco Bell is not only introducing the Flamin’ Hot Mini Taco Salad, but it’s also bringing Steak Cheesy Street Chalupas and Slow-Roasted Chicken Cheesy Street Chalupas back to menus.

The new Mini Taco Salad was teased during Live Más LIVE: A Night at The Palladium back in March, while the Cheesy Street Chalupas originally debuted before Snackology’s time in July 2024.

This has been a banner few weeks when it comes to my favorite items from 2025 making a comeback. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Holiday Creamy Vanilla, Snackology’s pick for Best New Soda of the Year, made its seasonal return to stores at the end of October, and now the Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito gives us a second chance to enjoy the Best New Fast Food Item of 2025.

What they cost

At my Taco Bell, a Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito was $6.49, a Flamin’ Hot Mini Taco Salad was $2.49 and each two-pack of Cheesy Street Chalupas was $6.49.

My thoughts

Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito

When the Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito made its debut last year, Taco Bell snuck it onto the menu at the same time as the rollout of the Frank’s RedHot Diablo Sauce menu. Buried under the Frank’s RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Burrito, Frank’s RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Soft Taco and Frank’s RedHot Diablo Chicken Nacho Fries was this humble burrito.
