Taco Bell Tests Double-Dipping Daredevil Burritos in Cleveland

Taco Bell is testing new Daredevil Double Dipping Burritos at select locations in the Cleveland area. The limited-time menu item is a two-burrito affair, and the gimmick is the whole point.

The Double Burrito Setup

Each order comes with two snack-sized burritos. Inside, you pick between grilled steak or slow-roasted chicken. Both fillings sit atop Avocado Ranch sauce and a melted 3-cheese blend — mozzarella, pepper jack, and cheddar.

The magic happens in the dip cup. One side holds Ghost Pepper sauce. The other side holds spicy, cheesy crisps. The idea is simple: dunk the burrito in the sauce, then drop it into the crisps. That’s the Daredevil part.

An order costs $5.99.

The Cleveland Test

The test runs at select Cleveland-area locations.

This is not the first time Taco Bell has put a double-dipping twist on its menu. The company tested another version of Double Dipping Burritos last year in Charlotte.

Why the Name Works

“Daredevil” fits. The burritos require commitment. You have to dunk twice, and the Ghost Pepper sauce is the riskier half of that equation.

It is a gimmick, and it is a deliberate one. The split cup is the feature, not a detail. Taco Bell is asking customers to treat each burrito as a two-step process — sauce first, then crisps — and the name tells you exactly what kind of commitment that requires.

What’s in the Cup

The sauce side is the hotter half. The crisp side is the cheese side. Together, they make a meal that rewards patience and punishes hesitation.

The Avocado Ranch sauce ties everything together underneath. It is the glue that holds the cheese and the protein in place while you work through the dipping sequence.

The Order of Operations

Here is how the experience breaks down:

1. Pick steak or chicken.
2. Dunk in Ghost Pepper sauce.
3. Dunk in the spicy, cheesy crisps.
4. Repeat with the second burrito.
5. Eat.

That order is the whole pitch. Taco Bell is betting that the combination of heat and cheese, delivered in two steps, will draw people in.

The Price Question

$5.99 is the price of entry. The test is limited to the Cleveland area, so this is a regional roll-out rather than a national launch. That means customers in other cities cannot judge for themselves yet.

The Verdict on the Gimmick

This is a stunt with substance behind it. The ingredients are real — steak, chicken, three cheeses, Ghost Pepper sauce — and the assembly is clever rather than cheap.

The question is whether the Cleveland crowd treats it as a novelty or as a regular order. A $5.99 burrito that forces you to dunk twice is a bold move, and it carries the name Daredevil for a reason.

Whether it becomes a permanent menu item depends on how the Cleveland test performs. For now, the burritos are a curiosity worth following.
