Starting February 26, we're amping up the heat with the introduction of our Sriracha Quesarito! By combining the Quesarito with our very own Sriracha Crema, we're bringing together our popular burrito with a beloved hot sauce to give people an entirely new flavor experience.

If you need a refresher, aside from the quesadilla wrapper - which is filled with melted shredded cheese and nacho cheese - the Quesarito is filled with seasoned rice, chipotle sauce, seasoned beef, and sour cream.

(KTLA) – Taco Bell fans will soon be saying goodbye to an item that debuted nearly a decade ago. The fast-food chain announced Thursday that the Quesarito will be removed from menus nationwide on April 19.

As Griffin Hammond outlines in his documentary, "Sriracha," it was in the small seaside town of Si Racha, Thailand in 1949 that resident Ms. Thanom Chakkapak first created this magical sauce, and named it after the town she lived in, Si Racha (originally spelled, "Sriraja").

How spicy is sriracha? Sriracha brands will vary in their intensity, but as hot sauces go, sriracha is considered to be on the mild side. Depending on the crop of peppers used, sriracha can range from 1,000 to 2,500 Scoville units. To put that into perspective, Tabasco sauce runs anywhere between 2,500 and 5,000.

If you think you must have been a mouse in a past life because you dream about cheese all day, then the QUESARITO is the burrito for you! Imagine a hot quesadilla filled with delicious cheeses melted around a delicious mixture of protein, rice, Habanero sauce and sour cream.

Noun. quesarito (plural quesaritos) A combination quesadilla and burrito.

Why Is Taco Bell Discontinuing The Quesarito? Taco Bell didn't officially disclose why it was removing the Quesarito but implied its removal was to make room for new items, like the Bacon Club Chalupa and Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito.

Snapshot. In 2005, farm workers in Florida, US, led a nationwide boycott of Taco Bell. They eventually won a historic victory, raising wages and setting an inspiring example for farm worker organizing. For years, workers in Florida's tomato fields have endured poverty wages and terrible working conditions.

Origin. The sauce was first produced in the 1940s by a Thai woman named Thanom Chakkapak in the town of Si Racha (or Sriracha), Thailand. The Sriracha sauce itself may be an adaptation of a Cantonese garlic and chili sauce originally from Shunde, China.

How Does Sriracha Taste? The taste varies by brand, but generally, it's tangy-sweet with a kick of garlic. Also, it's spicy.
