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.

Review: Taco Bell's New Steak & Queso Crunchwrap Sliders Won't Blow Your Mind
With Taco Bell's Live Más LIVE event just days away on March 4, 2025, fans are already getting a taste of some of the new things Taco Bell is promising to deliver this year. Already on the scene are the new Milk Bar and Taco Bell Birthday Cake Churros collaboration, available for a limited time while supplies last. And starting today, Taco Bell fans can also enjoy the new Steak & Queso Crunchwrap Sliders, which come paired with a Green Chile Queso sauce. With these new options hitting stores, it's obvious Taco Bell is definitely into celebrating birthdays this year. As the Crunchwrap Supreme turns 20 in 2025, the new steak take on the elder wrap is a big swing (in a tiny package) for the Taco Bell menu. Now available nationwide, these sliders already have fans heading for the border and dropping reviews over every social media platform. But are they worth all the clamor and commotion? I set out to my local Taco Bell as soon as it opened today in order to answer that question. Read more: 11 Mexican Restaurant Chains, Ranked Worst To Best The Steak & Queso Crunchwrap Sliders come in a two-pack of what Taco Bell is calling "fun-sized" sliders. The name becomes more understandable when you see them because they are indeed somewhat small when compared to the traditional Crunchwrap. I had to be reassured that my order was indeed all there, even after looking in the bag, as the contents were surprisingly slight. Consisting of a mini tostada shell resembling the fan favorite Crunchwrap, these sliders are filled with marinated steak, a creamy chipotle sauce, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, and a tiny tostada (for the signature crunch). The green chile white queso comes on the side for dipping, just in case the chipotle sauce doesn't offer enough heat. Creamy and smooth white cheese with visible chunks of green chiles make up the queso cup, which could also be described as a fun-sized portion. There isn't much there for many dippable tastes. The pair of Steak & Queso Crunchwrap Sliders with Green Chile Queso dipping sauce will set you back $4.99 - $5.99 plus tax, depending on location. Each slider will also cost you just over 200 calories (410 calories for both). Add another 45 calories if you finish off the queso, which really won't be too hard to do. While there isn't much more than caloric information on the queso, the sliders alone have 20 grams of fat, 880 milligrams of sodium, and 41 carbs. Said to be available nationwide, the Steak & Queso Crunchwrap Sliders may only be available at participating Taco Bell locations. So, be sure to check with your local store before you head out in search of this specific new item. And don't be surprised if you miss it. In true Taco Bell fashion, these sliders will only be around for a limited time. How limited? I cannot say. Taco Bell hasn't put out much news on the Crunchwrap sliders, perhaps waiting for its Live Más LIVE event to make more announcements. Although small, these little Crunchwraps are filled edge to edge with all of the ingredients promised. The steak is surprisingly meaty and tender. Although it does toe the line of having a pressed patty vibe, the taste is unmistakably steak and doesn't disappoint. The creamy chipotle sauce has more of a kick than I anticipated, which left me feeling that the queso was more of a bonus than a needed dipping sauce. With ample amounts of cheddar cheese already in the Crunchwrap, I really didn't think the queso was necessary. Albeit a nice addition, creamy and a little spicy, I feel like Taco Bell missed the opportunity to throw a few chips on the side and make this into a full meal. I have to say I really enjoyed the nice, cold crispness of the pico that came popping through in every bite. Although the wrap was pressed and nicely toasted -- the cheese melted and the steak hot -- the tomatoes and onions stayed plump and juicy, giving a great texture and taste to the wrap. The pico de gallo really rounded out the wrap and gave it a well-balanced, full flavor that I think would have fallen short without it. I think die-hard Taco Bell fans are going to be happy with the new Crunchwrap sliders. I don't think they will reach the cult following of Nacho Fries, but the steak option in the Crunchwrap style is nicely delivered and tasty. I wouldn't necessarily recommend anyone making a run for the border to try the new creation. Even though they are only available for a limited time, I feel a nice, slow saunter to your local store will do the trick. The steak option was definitely a good choice on Taco Bell's part, and the whole Crunchwrap slider concept seems to have been well thought out. All of the components of sauce, meat, veggies, and cheese complement each other nicely. So much so that if you took just one of them away, I don't think this would have stuck the landing as successfully as it has. For lunch or a late-night snack, the price and size are a little more than satisfactory. Again, I really think chips for the queso would have put this one over the top. But maybe next time, Taco Bell. Read the original article on Tasting Table.
