# Wendy’s Teams Up With Takis for Spicy New Menu Items
**Wendy’s is turning up the heat this summer with a fiery new collaboration featuring Takis, the wildly popular rolled tortilla chips.**
For years, Takis have been a snack-time favorite, especially among younger consumers who love their intense flavors and crunch. Now, Wendy’s is bringing that same bold taste to its menu with two new limited-time offerings: the **Takis Fuego Chicken Sandwich** and **Takis Fuego Fries**.
## What’s on the Menu?
### **Takis Fuego Chicken Sandwich**
This isn’t your average spicy chicken sandwich. Wendy’s is taking its classic spicy chicken filet and loading it up with:
– **Crushed Takis Fuego chips** for an extra crunch
– **Chili Lime Sauce** for a tangy kick
– **Creamy corn spread** for a hint of sweetness
– **Cheddar cheese sauce** to balance the heat
The result? A sandwich that’s **spicy, crunchy, and packed with flavor**.
### **Takis Fuego Fries**
If you love Wendy’s famous fries, you’ll want to try this Takis-inspired twist. The fries are tossed in a **tangy chili lime seasoning**, giving them an extra layer of heat and zest.
### **Takis Fuego Meal**
Customers can order the sandwich and fries together as part of the **Takis Fuego Meal**, which also includes a drink. For an added bonus, Wendy’s is offering a **free bag of Takis Fuego chips** with the meal (while supplies last).
## Why This Collab Makes Sense
Wendy’s has always embraced bold flavors, and Takis is all about intensity. This partnership is a natural fit for both brands, appealing to fans who crave spicy, crunchy, and unique fast-food experiences.
Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. CMO for Wendy’s, said:
> *“At Wendy’s, we know how to keep things spicy, and we love serving up fresh, famous collaborations that tap into consumers’ passion points, which made this partnership with Takis a no-brainer.”*
Takis echoed the excitement, calling the collab an *”unforgettable experience that’s made for heat seekers.”*
## When Can You Try It?
– **U.S. Launch:** June 20
– **Canada Launch:** June 30
### **Final Thoughts**
This is a smart move by Wendy’s. Takis have a massive following, and incorporating them into a fast-food menu is a great way to attract younger customers who love bold flavors. The combination of crushed Takis on a chicken sandwich and seasoned fries sounds like a winner—especially for those who enjoy a little extra heat.
