Wendy’s just turned up the heat with one of its spiciest collabs to date.
Teaming up with cult-favorite snack brand Takis, the fast food giant has launched the all-new Takis Fuego Meal, hitting U.S. restaurants on June 20, with a Canadian rollout on June 30. And yes, it’s limited edition, so if you blink, you might miss it.
The Meal is more than just a typical spicy sandwich. It’s a one-of-a-kind mashup of bold flavor, texture, and creativity. The centerpiece? A seasoned spicy chicken filet, topped with crushed Takis Fuego chips for that signature chili-lime crunch. The sandwich is further dressed with chili lime sauce, creamy corn spread, and a rich cheddar cheese sauce, making it “equal parts spicy, crunchy and savory,” as Wendy’s proudly puts it.
And because Wendy’s knows fries deserve just as much attention, they’re dropping Takis-inspired fuego fries to complete the meal. Classic hot and crispy Wendy’s fries are now tossed in tangy chili lime seasoning and served in a custom tear-away bag, perfect for sharing or hoarding, no judgment here.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what you get:

But wait, it doesn’t stop with just the food. Wendy’s is also turning the heat into a game. From June 20 to July 20, customers can play Spice Invasion, a retro arcade-style game inside the Wendy’s app. It’s simple but addictive: blast Wendy’s food items with Takis chips across wild terrain and earn points. The game not only keeps the spicy vibes alive but also gives players a shot to win real cash. The grand prize? $10,000. That’s right, you could win big just for playing a Wendy’s game.
Lindsay Radkoski, Wendy’s U.S. Chief Marketing Officer, called the collab a “no-brainer,” adding: “We know how to keep things spicy. By joining forces with such an iconic and beloved snacking brand, we’re turning up the heat and flavor in a way only Wendy’s can.”
So, if you’re a spice lover or just want to be part of the crunchiest fast food drop of the summer, mark your calendar. The Wendy’s Takis Fuego Meal will only be around while supplies last, and that game could literally pay off.
Don’t sleep on it, this meal’s flaming hot and flying fast.
