Taco Bell's first foray into the world of french fries has begun.
Nacho Fries are the traditional fast-food fry made with what the chain calls "Mexican seasoning," plus nacho cheese dipping sauce.
The $1 side will be available through March. The fries also come Supreme for $2.49 or Bell Grande for $3.49 with toppings, like beef, pico de gallo and sour cream.
Taco Bell said it plans to introduce 20 new $1 menu items this year, as many of the major fast-food chains continue to focus more on their value menus. On Jan,. 4, McDonald's launched its $1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu; Burger King already has the Value Menu and Wendy's has the Right Price, Right Size Menu.
