A fresh collaboration between Subway and Doritos is bringing a unique twist to snack options across the United States. Known for its signature foot-long sandwiches, Subway has expanded its menu with the introduction of Doritos Footlong Nachos. This innovative offering combines layers of flavor, texture, and convenience, appealing to fans of both brands. Featuring chips made from Doritos Nacho Cheese flavor, these nachos are topped generously with cheddar cheese sauce, shredded Monterey jack cheese, jalapeño slices, diced tomatoes, red onions, and Baja Chipotle sauce.
Customers have additional customization opportunities when ordering this new treat. Steak or rotisserie-style chicken can be added free of charge, providing an extra protein boost. For those seeking a creamy addition, smashed avocado is available at an additional cost. According to Paul Fabre, Subway’s Senior Vice President of Culinary and Innovation, this partnership elevates the brand by blending quality ingredients with the iconic crunch of Doritos. It also aligns with Subway's history of experimenting with large-format snacks, such as the Auntie Anne’s pretzel and Cinnabon churro collaborations introduced in previous years.
The launch of the Doritos Footlong Nachos reflects a strategic move by Subway to attract budget-conscious consumers, priced at just $5 per serving. In an era where inflation continues to impact wallets, affordable yet indulgent offerings like these may resonate well with customers. Furthermore, this initiative strengthens Subway’s relationship with PepsiCo, which supplies not only Doritos but also beverages now featured in U.S. locations after a recent ten-year agreement. With nearly 37,000 restaurants globally, Subway demonstrates its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction through partnerships that enhance its menu diversity while maintaining affordability.
