Dairy Queen’s Carolina Reaper Taco Returns to Texas!

Here in Texas, there’s always something exciting cooking up—and this time, it's all about bringing the heat! Back by popular demand, the Carolina Reaper Taco is making its fiery return to DQ restaurants in Texas from March 17 to April 27. Now, I know what you’re thinking: if you’re a true Texan, you love bold & spicy flavors, but this taco is on another level! Crafted with a crispy corn shell filled with Carolina Reaper-infused Monterey Jack cheese, seasoned ground beef, crisp lettuce, and ripe tomatoes, it’s a one-two punch of fire and flavor. Then, to cool things down just enough, it’s topped off with a cool cilantro lime crema sauce that perfectly balances the intense heat.
