(KTLA) - Taco Bell’s latest limited-time menu offering is another twist on a classic menu staple.
On Thursday, the California-based chain debuted Cheesy Street Chalupas nationwide. The new menu item doubles as a new twist on Chalupa, which originally debuted in 1999, and a nod to street tacos and street food culture, the company said in a statement.
The Cheesy Street Chalupas features fresh onions, cilantro and a choice of protein, all wrapped in chalupa shells stuffed with melted mozzarella and pepper jack cheese and topped with a Jalapeño Ranch sauce.
Taco Bell first tested the street chalupas in 2023 before rolling out a nationwide debut.
“The Chalupa has taken many delicious forms over the years, but with the Cheesy Street Chalupas, we set out to create a new flavor-rich way for fans to enjoy the beloved menu item,” Luis Restrepo, Taco Bell’s vice president of product innovation, said in a statement.
“The fresh onions and cilantro atop layers of cheese and premium proteins seasoned to perfection adds a different flavor profile and is our playful nod to the street taco that we all know and love.”
Cheesy Street Chalupas come in a bundle of two for $5.49.
In addition, customers can also try new menu items like the Jalapeno Ranch Nacho Fries.
