Update, March 3, 2021: Back in November, it was announced that Frito-Lay and Hissho Sushi were teaming up to make the food of dreams: sushi that includes Flamin' Hot Cheetos. At the time of its release, it was only available at select stores like Target and Kroger, but now it's officially being sold at Stop & Shop stores in the Northeast.
You can hit up your local Stop & Shop if you have one and find the Cheetos Flamin' Hot Roll wherever you can typically get the prepared meals in your store. Better yet, every Friday during Lent the sushi will be 25 percent off of its original $7.49 price tag. If you need a refresher, the sushi roll consists of "Spicy Krab," avocado, cream cheese, cucumber, crushed Cheetos, and a drizzle of Flamin' Hot mayo so it's the perfect blend of spicy and fresh.
Original Post November 17, 2020: Two of my main food groups are Hot Cheetos and sushi, and while I originally thought the two couldn't go together, Frito-Lay and Hissho Sushi have teamed up to prove otherwise. Together, the two brands have put together a sushi roll that has an added spicy crunch from Hot Cheetos. The best part? You can find it at quite a few grocery stores to try it out.
This unique sushi roll—aptly called the Cheetos Flamin' Hot Roll—is made with "Spicy Krab," avocado, cream cheese, cucumber, crushed Cheetos, and a drizzle of hot mayo. The mix of cream cheese, cucumber, and avocado are meant to help cool down the spice from the Cheetos.
Although this might seem like one of those super exclusive food collabs that's only available in a few places, the Hissho Sushi brand is actually carried at a lot of mainstream supermarkets across 33 states and Washington D.C. You can find it at Target, Stop & Shop, Meijer, Kroger, Giant Food, and Safeway, and a full list of retailers can be found on this Hissho Sushi website.
If you're not quite sold on this combo, just think of this Hot Cheetos addition as something that adds both crunch and spice to a classic spicy crab roll. You may already use wasabi or order sushi rolls with tempura inside to achieve either of these flavors and textures, so Hot Cheetos are actually a pretty logical way to go here! Of course, you'll never know until you try it, so be sure to check your closest grocery store—and don't forget the soy sauce on the side.
