It comes with a nice portion of shredded chicken and the usual accouterments, such as pico de gallo, reduced fat sour cream, and nacho cheese sauce over Taco Bell&#8217;s seasoned fries. But it&#8217;s the liberal dowsing of Buffalo sauce that gives the platter a mostly loving kick in the metaphorical junk.<\/p>\n<p>It was definitely a bit of culinary violence that the Bell needed, especially before its fries became a little too staid for their own good \u2014- something I&#8217;m sure we all can agree on. That being said, the next time I order these, I&#8217;d love to add a squirt or two of the Spicy Ranch, perhaps for a bit of heated resistance.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Taco-Bell-Buffalo-Chicken-Nacho-Fries-Burrito.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Buffalo Chicken Nacho Fries Burrito\" title=\"Taco Bell Buffalo Chicken Nacho Fries Burrito.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With that said, the sauce isn&#8217;t as powerful in the Buffalo Chicken Nacho Fries Burrito, but that&#8217;s not to say it&#8217;s entirely bad either. It&#8217;s just\u2026<em>different<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>While it could&#8217;ve been a fluke in my home Bell&#8217;s kitchen, my burrito, loaded with the same items as the fries but wrapped in a loose tortilla, must have had far less of the Buffalo sauce because it wasn&#8217;t as &#8220;in your face&#8221; as the fries.<\/p>\n<p>It still works well though, with the scant Buffalo sauce instead enhancing the burrito and its taste instead of utterly dominating it. I can understand if people would disagree with me about this, but, especially after the stomach-enflaming fires of the fries, that was a somewhat cooling snack, a coda on the whole Buffalo sauce phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>Who knew it would be Taco Bell, of all places, to deliver it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.99 each<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> N\/A<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> <strong>Buffalo Chicken Nacho Fries<\/strong> &#8211; 490 calories, 32 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 55 milligrams of cholesterol, 1080 milligrams of sodium, 40 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugar, and 12 grams of protein. <strong>Buffalo Chicken Nacho Fries Burrito<\/strong> &#8211; 510 calories, 26 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 50 milligrams of cholesterol, 1190 milligrams of sodium, 53 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar, and 16 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the most part, I like fries about as much as any other typical fast food fan probably does.
