Taco Bell is introducing two new chicken menu items. The fast-food restaurant will launch Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider and Cantina Chicken Rolled Quesadilla starting March 19.
New Crunchwrap Slider Hits Taco Bell Menu for a Limited Time
Taco Bell’s new Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider is arriving on the fast-food chain’s menu for a limited time. The launch marks the first time crispy chicken has been used in this format, building on the popularity of earlier Crunchwrap variations. The new Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider is a smaller version of the brand’s well-known Crunchwrap format. The Cantina Chicken Rolled Quesadilla is a newer version of the Steak & Poblano Rolled Quesadilla, which was released last fall and became a big success.
It is a smaller take on the brand’s signature Crunchwrap format. The slider features crispy chicken made with all-white meat, coated in tortilla chip pieces for added crunch.
With a three-cheese blend, pico de gallo, and a choice of sauces, the slider is wrapped in a flour tortilla and then grilled. Taco Bell has designed the slider as a portable, snack-sized option.
The wrap is available with a choice of Creamy Chipotle or Jalapeño Honey Mustard sauce and costs $2.49.
Taco Bell is also offering a limited-edition junk journal kit for 500 fans through its app on April 7, featuring themed items like a journal and stickers.
In a PR Newswire report, Liz Matthews, Global Chief Food Innovation Officer at Taco Bell, shared that the chain is “playing with form, flavor, and texture to bring new energy into the formats our fans already love.”
Taco Bell Makes Cantina Chicken Rolled Quesadilla a Permanent Item
Alongside the slider, Taco Bell is also adding the Cantina Chicken Rolled Quesadilla as a permanent menu item.
The new item follows the success of the Steak & Poblano Rolled Quesadilla, which debuted last fall and performed well.
The Rolled Quesadilla features slow-roasted cantina chicken and a three-cheese blend. All of it is wrapped in a grilled tortilla with creamy chipotle sauce. The wrap is served with sour cream and avocado verde salsa on the side.
According to the report, the updated version includes more chicken than previous quesadilla offerings and is available at a cost of $6.69.
Liz Matthews added that strong customer response to Crispy Chicken Nuggets and Cantina Chicken has encouraged the team to keep creating new items.
With these new chicken-focused additions, Taco Bell continues to expand its menu while updating familiar favorites.
