Taco Bell Turns Heads With New Spin on Fan-Favorite Menu Items
There's nothing like the return of a fan-favorite menu item -- especially when said item is deep-fried and smothered with charred steak, blistering jalapeños, and layers of nacho cheese. Indeed, in an exciting new development for Taco Bell's extensive menu, the global fast food giant has officially brought back some of their most popular past menu items. More recently, Taco Bell has set the food industry ablaze with their Crispy Chicken nuggets: a mouthwatering take on a popular fast food menu item. In the hopes of further capitalizing on the Crispy Chicken's revived popularity, Taco Bell is also testing out new menu items centered around the decadent protein option, as revealed by noteworthy food journalist markie_devo in a recent Instagram post. Above all else, Taco Bell is currently offering a slew of items with Crispy Chicken as its main ingredient, including a Crispy Chicken Burrito and Crispy Chicken Tacos. The Burrito will come filled with a mixture of Crispy Chicken, lettuce, purple cabbage, pico de gallo and cheddar cheese, with the optional addition of either spicy Ranchero or Avocado Ranch sauce. Meanwhile, Taco Bell's latest Taco creation is filled with Crispy Chicken, lettuce, purple cabbage, pico de gallo, shredded cheddar cheese and a choice of either of Ranchero or Avocado Ranch sauce as well. Taco Bell is also currently testing out a new shareable platter dubbed the Loaded Steak and Jalapeños Topped Fries. Based on Taco Bell's ultra popular Nacho Fries from 2018, the dish comes served with a healthy smothering of molten nacho cheese, grilled steak, a creamy jalapeño sauce and enough pickled jalapeños to leave your tongue tingling for days after the fact. While these experimental new items are available at limited locations within Charlotte, North Carolina, Taco Bell has reportedly planned to further emphasize Crispy Chicken on its menu well into 2026.

Taco Bell drops more Crispy Chicken menu items in surprise launch
Taco Bell is on an innovation kick, developing many delicious new menu items and launching one after the other. This strategic business move has worked for the brand, as its same-store sales increased by 11% in 2025 compared to the year prior, boosting its growth immensely. Fortunately for fans, it's not over yet, because it has dropped even more unique creations.

No fast-food chain is complete without fries on its menu, but Yum! Brands' (YUM) Taco Bell somehow got away with this for decades. It might have taken a few years, but perfection takes time, and Taco Bell used it to its advantage. It introduced the Nacho Fries in 2018 as a limited-time menu item, and people went wild. This might be because these fries are unlike any other. Like most fries, they are hot and crispy, but Taco Bell made them its own by adding Mexican spices.

However, Taco Bell has brought them back, and this time, they are extra loaded. The new Loaded Steak & Jalapeño Topped Fries feature Taco Bell's beloved Nacho Fries topped with nacho cheese sauce, grilled marinated steak, creamy jalapeño sauce, and pickled jalapeños. This new menu item is available for a limited time at all participating Taco Bell locations nationwide, as seen on the chain's website. To continue with the chicken trend and please its chicken-loving fans, Taco Bell recently reintroduced its Crispy Chicken nuggets and is now dropping two more Crispy Chicken items. The Crispy Chicken Taco is filled with Crispy Chicken, purple cabbage, crisp lettuce, pico de gallo, and shredded cheddar cheese, all folded inside a warm tortilla. This menu item comes with a choice of spicy Ranchero or creamy Avocado Ranch sauce.

Although these menu additions will only be offered to a select few, Taco Bell has mentioned its intentions to make the Crispy Chicken a permanent part of the menu by 2026.
