Taco John’s Brings Back Chili, Featuring Fritos®

By GlobeNewswire

ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This winter, Taco John’s® is serving up John’s Beef Chili as the centerpiece of a delicious new lineup featuring Fritos®. The limited-time items offer a new take on a classic favorite first served at Taco John’s more than 50 years ago.

From a loaded bowl of chili to crispy Potato Olés® piled high with toppings, Taco John’s is putting a fresh spin on its original chili recipe with three delicious ways to dig in:

  • Fritos® Chili & Cheese Burrito: A warm flour tortilla filled with seasoned 100% North American Beef, John’s Beef Chili, Cheddar cheese, diced onions, sour cream, and Fritos®. Available a la carte and as part of a combo.
  • Fritos® Chili & Cheese Olés™: Taco John’s signature hot and crispy Potato Olés® loaded with John’s Beef Chili, warm nacho cheese, Cheddar cheese, and Fritos®.
  • Fritos® Loaded Cup of Chili: John’s Beef Chili topped with Cheddar cheese, sour cream, and Fritos®.

Guests can also take any regular burrito on the menu to the next level by smothering it with chili, Cheddar cheese, and Fritos®.

“Few things hit the spot during a Midwest winter quite like a warm bowl of chili, and our fans have been clamoring for its return,” said Kevin Flaherty, Chief Marketing Officer at Taco John’s. “The new chili lineup brings together Fritos®, bold flavors, and Taco John’s nostalgia for a must-have, cold-weather comfort food this season.”

First introduced at Taco John’s in the 1970s, the hearty beef chili was an instant fan favorite. With the bold flavors of chili making a comeback, Taco John’s is serving up a taste of its history just in time for the cold-weather season.

“When two fan favorites come together, you know it’s going to be good,” said Janelle Rowe, Senior Vice President of Foodservice at PepsiCo. “Fritos® and Taco John’s Beef Chili bring two iconic flavors together in a fresh, fun way that gives guests even more to enjoy.”

Seasonal holiday favorites also are joining the Taco John’s menu this winter (stay tuned!). And TJ Rewards™ members can check the app all season long for more ways to enjoy West-Mex™ flavors at a great value.
