This is the first follow-up flavor to the cult classic beverage in 20 years. 2:18 Taco Bell customers flipped out earlier this year when the fast food chain announced its massive new menu plans at Live Más LIVE, and now, the highly anticipated second iteration of a fan-favorite beverage is hitting menus this month. The new Taco Bell exclusive Mountain Dew Baja Midnight marks the first-ever permanent flavor expansion of the cult classic Mountain Dew Baja Blast. What to know about new Mountain Dew Baja Midnight at Taco Bell The new soda, which hits menus nationwide on Aug. 14, "blends a refreshing blast of passion fruit flavor with the signature tropical lime flavor" of the original, Taco Bell stated in a press release Tuesday. To compliment its bright teal counterpart, Mountain Dew Baja Midnight is a Taco Bell purple hue, which when paired side by side evokes the company colors of the 1990s. "BAJA BLAST has consistently sparked creativity, defied expectations, and continues to be a cornerstone of the Taco Bell experience," Taco Bell CMO Taylor Montgomery said in a statement. "Our fans made it iconic, and they're the reason we're expanding the universe for the first time with MOUNTAIN DEW BAJA MIDNIGHT. It's unexpected, it's Taco Bell purple, and it's tasty enough to earn its place in the fandom." Baja Midnight comes in two formats, a regular fountain soda or a "Freeze," for fans who prefer it frozen and icy. How to get free Mountain Dew Baja Midnight at Taco Bell On Aug. 15 to celebrate the newest drink launch, Taco Bell Rewards Members can enjoy a medium size Mountain Dew Baja Midnight for free when they spend $5 or more in the Taco Bell app. The offer is available at participating U.S. Taco Bell locations, while supplies last.

What is a Queso Crisp Taco? Taco Bell announces new items and old favorites back on the menu
Whether it's chicken nuggets or a box of tacos, the Taco Bell menu has a bit of everything and is soon getting more. On Tuesday, the company had its Live Más LIVE event, during which Taco Bell presented some of the new foods and drinks it has coming soon: For the cheese heads, there's the Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupa with a layer of crispy cheese on the outside and a new Chile Lime Crema Sauce on the inside. Want more? Try the Queso Crisp Taco with a shell made entirely of crispy cheese Guilty: 14 convicted in Georgia for 'large-scale' dog fighting event. What they're facing Devoted fans of the Beefy Crunch Burrito with Flamin' Hot Fritos were excited to hear it's coming back, and this time with "Flamin' Hot" seasoning in the rice. There was also good news for the Baja Blast devotees. A new flavor of the drink is coming out called Baja Blast Midnight highlighting a passion fruit burst. They are also looking at bringing back the Baja Blast Pie around Thanksgiving. Another spin on a favorite is the Chicken Nuggets which will come back twice this year and offer a new Mike's Hot Honey Diablo Sauce. Similarly, Taco Bell will start offering Chicken Strips. Then there's the Rolled Poblano Quesadilla with chicken, steak, and poblano peppers as well as the Grilled Cheese Burrito with Shredded Beef. Remember the Decades Menu? They are planning to bring that one back too, but focused on menu items from the early 2000's and 2010's: Chili Cheese Burrito Caramel Apple Empanada Doritos Locos Tacos Double Decker Seven Layer Burrito During the event, Taco Bell introduced "Fan Style," a new function of the Taco Bell app. The concept is, if you tend to order something custom, you can save your custom dish in the app, name it, and share that customizations with others. Users will also be rewarded for others ordering their customizations, but there are no details on how that will work. Currently, Taco Bell's drink menu is largely limited to soft drinks. But the company is looking to change that with Live Más Café, a new model of beverage-focused restaurants featuring 30 drink possibility from dirty sodas and specialty coffees to Agua Refrescas and "Churro Chillers." Currently there is only one in San Diego and the company did a pop-up during Live Más LIVE in New York. Taco Bell's Chief Food Innovation Officer, Liz Matthews, previewed multiple dishes the company is testing out and could roll out to menus in the future. Here were a few we are looking forward to: Brisket Taco: A taco featuring slow-roasted brisket, shredded cheese and purple cabbage. Mexican Pizza Empanada: The cult classic Mexican Pizza inside of a flakey crispy empanada. Mini Taco Salad: A bite-sized version of the classic taco salad. Poutine Fries: Seasoned fries topped with slow-roasted pork, gravy, and cheese curds. Salted Caramel & Toffee Cream Empanada Bite: A twist on the Caramel Apple Empanada with salted caramel and toffee cream. Miguel Legoas is a Deep South Connect Team Reporter for Gannett/USA Today.

Taco Bell Is Putting A Spin (And Heat) On Its Quesadilla In 2025
It's been less than 24 hours since the Taco Bell Live Más LIVE fan experience, and we still haven't recovered. Between getting to hang out with the people who run the Bell from day to day and getting to taste-test upcoming food items, the event must have been like Cinderella's ball for folks obsessed with drive-thru Tex-Mex (in other words, everything they've ever dreamed of). Luckily, for those who couldn't make it, the video is available on YouTube. When Taco Bell CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) Taylor Montgomery burst onto the stage with a hilarious, high-energy roll call of all the Taco Bell menu items coming in 2025, we weren't expecting to have our jaws dropped by a fresh take on the quesadilla. First, Montgomery recounted recent limited-time menu hits, like the currently available birthday cake churros that are a collab with Milk Bar. Then, he dropped the bombshell: 2025 is going to be the year of carne asada at Taco Bell. You can soon expect a Carne Asada Poblano Rolled Quesadilla that is guaranteed to be your new, spicy obsession. It looks a bit more like a burrito than the flat quesadilla style you know and love, and there's a piquant surprise on the inside: a green poblano pepper! Read more: The Best Themed Restaurants To Put On Your Travel Bucket List Montgomery made the very salient point that "the quesadilla is perfect no matter how you eat it," whether you choose to "roll it, flip it, [or] fold it." Taco Bell took that rolling step to heart and paired grilled marinated steak, a three-cheese blend, and a spicy pepper to make a crave-able spin on quesadillas that we already can't wait to try. No word on when the rolled quesadillas are coming to a Bell near you, but Live Más LIVE attendees got to exclusively sample it for the first time, proving the adage that some people have all the luck. Like the normal quesadilla, the new item is made with a flour tortilla, which excludes it from Taco Bell's limited gluten-free menu. Like you, we're fiends for a saucy moment, and we're already picturing the dipping possibilities that a rolled quesadilla invites. Queso? Guacamole? The new hot honey Diablo sauce that Montgomery mentioned? Yes, yes, and yes! Until we see an announcement that the Carne Asada Poblano Rolled Quesadilla is ready to be ordered, however, we'll have to stick to our normal tricks like the viral hack of creating folded quesadillas in the toaster. It'll work for now, but we're on tenterhooks waiting for the cheesy, beefy, spicy Taco Bell version, to be sure. Read the original article on Foodie.
