They've had Frito Burritos off and on for a long time! I know I was buying them in the mid-1990s. They just had regular Fritos in them, not the Flamin' Hot ones. I'm not at Taco Bell much anymore, but I think some locations here in Texas kept selling Frito Burritos in recent years. They're pretty good; the chips stay crunchy so they add a good texture to the otherwise mushy burrito. And of course they add salt, and we all know you never can have enough salt in fast food.
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.

When I saw that commercial for the first time, I said "HEY! Fritos pie!" lol
