Houston’s smash hit smash burger restaurant Trill Burgers has a new menu item that features another celebrity-backed brand. This time, Bun B’s burger joint has teamed up with Astros star Alex Bregman’s salsa company Wild Sol to create Trill Smash Tacos.

Available for the next couple of weeks, Trill Smash Tacos combines a smashed burger patty with American cheese, citrus slaw, pickled jalapenos, and chipotle aioli on a corn tortilla. The tacos then receive a generous dollop of mild or spicy Wild Sol salsa. Chefs Fernando Valladares and Mike Pham created the taco recipe, which includes a special seasoning mix. Served with a side of french fries, diners may purchase the tacos for dine-in, to-go, or drive-thru.

“Trill Burgers has wanted to introduce a smash taco for a long time, and collaborating with Wild Sol salsa for Cinco de Mayo was the perfect opportunity,” Bun B said. “With a special taco seasoning courtesy of chef Nando and Alex Bregman’s amazing Wild Sol salsa, this one hits different. We can’t wait for y’all to try it.”

Reagan and Alex Bregman launched Wild Sol earlier this year as a replacement for the Breggy Bomb brand. Currently, the company sells four flavors of salsa via its website — Hot, Mild, Salsa Verde, and Mango Habanero. Notably, the Wild Sol salsas get their distinctive flavors from a splash of Flecha Azul tequilas, which counts actor Mark Wahlberg as one of its founders.

“We are so grateful for all of the support for Breggy Bomb — and when we put our heads together at night, all we could think about was how to perfect what we already have, and born was Wild Sol,” the couple said in a statement. “It’s a direct reflection of our hard work and the type of product we want to put our names behind.”

The Texans defense came through once again on Sunday, as they were able to hold the Dolphins to just twelve points, helping to secure a 20-12 win for Houston.

Sunday's victory, paired with a Colts loss, also clinched another division title for Houston, which guarantees they'll host a home playoff game. This is significant because Houston has played much better at home, and given some of the NFL's best quarterbacks fits.

However, the offense just hasn't clicked consistently this year, for a variety of reasons.

With all this in mind, how far can this defense take the Texans?
