It&#8217;s ominous-looking, and it&#8217;s also so red that it might be embarrassed. However, it shouldn&#8217;t be embarrassed because Taco Bell&#8217;s Flamin&#8217; Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito is delightful.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the Flamin&#8217; Hot Fritos and new spicy rice seasoned with Flamin&#8217; Hot Fritos, the burrito also features seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, reduced-fat sour cream, creamy chipotle sauce, and a three-cheese blend, all wrapped up in a flour tortilla with more cheese grilled on the outside.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tobellfhgrebur2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Flamin&#039; Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito is really red\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-73249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tobellfhgrebur2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tobellfhgrebur2.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tobellfhgrebur2.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tobellfhgrebur2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was a little disappointed that Taco Bell used Fritos instead of Flamin&#8217; Hot Cheetos or Doritos, but I understand the chip physics behind it. Cheetos and Doritos would probably succumb to the heat and moisture inside of a burrito before it ended up inside someone&#8217;s mouth. Fritos are a sturdier corn chip, and they did a decent job in my order of maintaining their crunchiness after the 10-minute drive home and two-minute photoshoot. While they weren&#8217;t straight-from-the-bag crunchy, they did have some crunch by the time I was able to stuff my face with them and the rest of the burrito.<\/p>\n<p>Even with two Flamin&#8217; Hot seasoned ingredients, this didn&#8217;t taste like I was eating a gigantic Flamin&#8217; Hot Cheetos Puff. Those two definitely highlight every bite, while the seasoned beef and nacho cheese sauce add their own flavors. There was also a hint of citrus, which might be coming from the chip&#8217;s seasoning.<\/p>\n<p>What I also liked, which heat heads might not agree with, was how the nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, and other cheeses somewhat mellowed the spiciness of the Flamin&#8217; Hot seasoning. The heat doesn&#8217;t reach the same level as when you eat Flamin&#8217; Hot chips straight out of the bag, but I think that allowed my taste buds to enjoy the seasoning more. Think of the Flamin&#8217; Hot heat being knocked down one or two levels.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I really enjoyed this burrito. While I didn&#8217;t taste the sour cream, creamy chipotle sauce, or the cheese grilled on the tortilla, the Flamin&#8217; Hot Fritos, Flamin&#8217; Hot seasoned rice, seasoned beef, and nacho cheese sauce created one surprisingly tasty burrito that doesn&#8217;t remind me of anything else on Taco Bell&#8217;s menu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $6.59*<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 730 calories, 41 grams of fat, 17 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 75 milligrams of cholesterol, 1570 milligrams of sodium, 65 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar, and 26 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here.
