But guess what? Taco Bell is finally hearing those Enchirito cries! They brought it back for a hot minute in November 2022, and rumor has it they're planning to encore it again real soon, but just for a limited time. So get ready to feast on that burrito-enchilada hybrid goodness once more!
From Eat This, Not That:
Taco Bell Chief Marketing Officer Taylor Montgomery personally confirmed the return when he recently took part in a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) thread where one fan brought up the retired menu item, which features a soft flour tortilla that's filled with seasoned beef, beans, and diced onions and then rolled up and topped with red sauce and shredded cheddar cheese.
"The Enchirito was amazing. I'd order it if it was still available. Does anyone else remember this gem?" the fan wrote in the thread.
Montgomery responded directly to the fan, saying that he "can confirm publicly for the first time that it will be back very soon for a limited time."
For any fans wondering why Taco Bell decides to bring back certain retired items like the Enchirito but won't bring back others, Montgomery did provide a little insight on what factors play into Taco Bell's decisions. He wrote that it's about what's right "for the brand, the business, the team members—all reflective of fan feedback, wrapped in cultural relevancy and, of course, what's uniquely Taco Bell."
Montgomery did not provide any additional details on when the Enchirito is returning or how long it will remain on menus. Still, his comment indicates that customers won't have to wait too long before they can once again get their hands on the popular item. A Taco Bell representative did not immediately respond to our inquiries for more details on the Enchirito rerelease.
Our taste buds are practically salivating in anticipation for the Enchirito's return.
Too bad this won't be a permanent menu item!
