Not content with their brilliant ad campaign (which says, "collect all two"), Taco Bell is adding another Doritos Locos Taco to their lineup.

The fast food chain that caters to stoners and frat boys, reinvented themselves with their Doritos Locos taco, featuring a taco shell made from Nacho Cheese Doritos chips. This past spring, the success of the original Doritos Loco was duplicated by the introduction of the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos taco.

So what flavor does Taco Bell have in mind for their third attempt at genius? According to the International Business Times, it looks like the new flavor will "likely be inspired by Doritos' chili-lime flavored Flamas chips".

So far, no word on a national launch date. Here's their teaser video, which doesn't say much but eludes to a spicy experience:
