Two of your top munchie-satisfying brands coming together to turn up the heat this summer: Fast-food favorite Wendy's is partnering with spicy tortilla-chip brand Takis for a flavor-packed, fuego-focused foodie collab. Debuting on Friday, June 20, the limited-time Takis Fuego Meal will be available at Wendy's locations nationwide and will spice up your lunchtime with a Takis Fuego Chicken Sandwich and Takis-inspired Fuego Fries.

The collaboration chicken sandwich slathers Wendy's usual Spicy Chicken filet with chili lime sauce and a creamy corn spread before the bird is covered in crushed Takis Fuego chips for a one-of-a-kind sammie "that is equal parts spicy, crunchy and savory," per the fast-food restaurant.
And the accompanying French fries continue the zesty theme: Wendy’s classic Hot & Crispy Fries are tossed in a tangy chili lime seasoning and served in a custom-made tear away bag to ensure that none of that lip-tingling Taki flavor escapes before it gets into your mouth.
Both the limited-edition sandwich and the French fries will be available as a set meal or a la carte. You can also add a bag of Takis Fuego chips to your meal while supplies last.
The fiery fun doesn’t stop there: Along with those fiercely seasoned culinary gems, you can also play Spice Invasion, a new in-app game from Wendy's, available June 20 to July 20. Players will navigate treacherous terrain and blast Takis chips at Wendy’s menu items to earn points and win prizes. (The grand prize is a whopping $10,000.)
And if you're wondering if you have to schlep your spicy self to your nearest Wendy to experience the caliente collab for yourself, don't fret: From Tuesday, June 24 onwards, you can order on GrubHub and even get a buy-one, get-one deal on the Takis Fuego Chicken Sandwich if you order $20 or more.
