The tortilla is coated in red sauce and has a layer of melted cheddar cheese toppings.

First sold in the '70s, the Enchirito will be returning to the chain starting November 17 and will be available till November 20.

A user mentioned the taco chain in their tweet, urging the chain to "hurry up with the Enchirito."

Hey @tacobell can you hurry up with the enchirito already? It’s my all time favorite. Plus, thanks for doing it on my birthday month. My parents are just as excited. I don’t want just 2 weeks of it. Oh, how well does the red sauce freeze? Cause I am going to need to stockpile.

One user seemed displeased with the Taco Chain about the limited number of days the Enchirito will be available for. The chain has mentioned that the awaited fusion dish will be available for three days only.

@tacobell wtf!? Bringing back the enchirito for 3 days? That's less time than the time wasted to put in the votes. Do better!

The chain has discontinued some of its major items in the last few years, much to the disappointment of fans. Some of the discontinued items include - Enchiritos, Double Decker Tacos, Cantina Tacos, Triple Steak Stack, and Meximelt. A user bashed the taco chain in their tweet about the discontinuation of some of the most popular items.

@tacobell Hey Taco Bell ... how stupid can you be? You get rid of the Tostada, you get rid of the Enchirito, you get rid of the Meximelt, now you start selling French fries!??!! How stupid are you? Who's running this place??!! What are you gonna do next? Get rid of Tacos???!!!
