Your Taco Bell trips are about to get a lot more exciting thanks to a new and exciting food item that made its way to their menu. The fast-food chain recently announced it will start offering grilled cheese dipping tacos for a limited time at selected locations and caused quite a buzz among foodies.
The new offering consists of slow-braised shredded beef that comes packed alongside creamy jalapeño sauce and a blend of three cheeses – cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack – in a grilled corn shell. The taco is served with either chain’s signature red sauce or a nacho cheese sauce.
The grilled cheese dipping taco is part of Taco Bell’s efforts to introduce premium ingredients in an affordable manner to their customers. The item spent two years in the test kitchen before making its debut.
“The rich and spicy flavors often found in birria were a major point of inspiration as we created the new Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco. By combining slow-braised shredded beef with the two dipping sauces, our fans can enjoy a new range of flavors they may have never had from Taco Bell before,” said Taco Bell’s Global Chief Food Innovation Officer Liz Matthews in a statement. “This Mexican-inspired dish represents an evolution of what fans typically expect from Taco Bell.”
The new menu item is currently available nationwide and comes priced at $3.49. It is unclear how long it will be around, so you better try it while you have a chance.
