Nacho Fries season is Rekubitnearly upon us, but with a spicy twist.

Taco Bell announced that its popular reoccurring side would return with a new menu item named Secret Aardvark Nacho Fries for $4.99.

The chain partnered with Portland, Oregon based hot sauce company Secret Aardvark to craft the order that was announced in February at the Live Más Live in Las Vegas. The Serrabanero Ranch Sauce, which combines ranch with green tomatoes, roasted tomatillos, and serrano and green habanero peppers, adds a punch of spice to the fries.

"This revolutionary partnership heralds a new era of flavor with an innovative blend of heat and zest," the chain said in a news release.
