Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito<\/a> and this Frank’s RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Soft Taco (there’s also a burrito version). Taco Bell should’ve gone for a Flamin’ Hot Frank’s RedHot collab in one product. That would’ve been hot and one long product name.<\/p>\nThe highlight of the limited-time menu item is the sauce, which is a combination of Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Sauce, Taco Bell’s Diablo Sauce, and tangy ranch. Looking at that lineup makes me think this could’ve been a crazy collaboration between Frank’s RedHot and Hidden Valley Ranch. Two words: sauce synergy!<\/p>\n
But there’s a more critical issue I must focus on.<\/p>\n
Yes, my order looks like the flour tortilla is throwing up cheese, pico de gallo, purple cabbage, and lettuce, with Frank’s RedHot Diablo Sauce drooling out of the side of it. I guess the crispy chicken strip would be the tongue? I’m not sure if the person who made my order was being loosey goosey with the ingredients because of the lunch rush, but my taco was thiccco. And, as expected, with the unusual amount of taco roughage, a lot of it lost to gravity.<\/p>\n
Despite the Sizzler salad bar in my taco, the Buffalo flavor stands out. However, it’s hard to determine how the folks at Taco Bell Diablo-fied it because it tastes like a standard vinegary and smoky Buffalo sauce, and it’s not noticeably hotter. There’s a spicy kick to it that I’d rate a three or four on my personal heat scale, but I don’t think adding the Diablo sauce turns up the fire. Finally, I don’t taste any tanginess from the ranch, although its creaminess is evident.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But I’m fine with the condiment not tasting like a unique mashup because I enjoyed the Buffalo flavor. But what I also liked was the vegetable smorgasbord. The acidic bursts from the tomatoes complement the spicy orange sauce, and I liked the crunch of the purple cabbage that enhanced the chicken strip’s texture. Although a little dry, the chicken strip was meaty and went the entire length of the tortilla. But its flavor was blocked by the Buffalo, which I didn’t mind.<\/p>\n
Overall, Taco Bell’s Frank’s RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Soft Taco is delicious, and I enjoyed it enough to order it again during a subsequent visit. While the second one wasn’t as stuffed as my first one, it was just as tasty.<\/p>\n
