Taco Bell will soon release brand-new offerings to its menu that include an Avocado Verde Salsa to be paired with its upcoming Cantina Chicken Menu, which consists of the Cantina Chicken Burrito, Cantina Chicken Taco, Cantina Chicken Quesadilla, and the Cantina Chicken Bowl.
More chicken offerings are also on the way, such as Crispy Chicken Nuggets that are marinated in jalapeño buttermilk for an added kick, along with the Cheesy Street Chalupas that are stuffed with melted cheese and filled with either roasted chicken or grilled steak. A release date hasn’t been scheduled yet for these new offerings.
There is, however, one new menu addition that was released early.
The Cheesy Chicken Crispnada hit menus nationwide on Feb. 15. This new item is Taco Bell’s take on a chicken empanada stuffed with slow-cooked, shredded chicken with tomato and onion and then smothered in a variety of cheeses that include Monterey pepper jack, Cheddar, and mozzarella. The Cheesy Chicken Crispnada is also served with a spicy ranch sauce for dipping.
A few months back, Taco Bell began testing the Cheesy Chicken Crispnada in a few select locations. Fans who tried it expressed their excitement by commenting on an Instagram post by snackolator. One raved, “I had it last week it’s amazing.” Another begged, “OMG please come to Michigan!!!!”
The entire Cantina Chicken Menu is set to drop at Taco Bell on March 21.
