Taco Bell is combining its Nacho Fries with Buffalo chicken.

The Mexican fast-food chain plans to bring its popular fries back to the menu Jan. 30, and this time it’s adding an entirely new flavor in Buffalo Chicken.

This is the fifth time that the fries are returning to Taco Bell’s menu, and in previous iterations, the chain has added flavors such as Steak Rattlesnake Fries and Reaper Ranch Fries.

Buffalo Chicken features shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, nacho cheese sauce, pico de gallo, sour cream and Taco Bell’s Buffalo sauce.

The fries will be available for a limited time. Nacho Fries cost $1.39 and Buffalo Chicken Nacho Fries cost $2.99. The Buffalo Chicken Nacho Fries can also be ordered in a burrito for $2.99.
