Taco Bell’s menu is getting a new option – Cheesy Street Chalupas – for a limited time.
The “street-sized” Cheesy Street Chalupas on Thursday made their debut at participating Taco Bell restaurants across the country and will continue to be sold “while supplies last,” according to the Yum! Brands subsidiary. They come in bundles of two.
Taco Bell said the Cheesy Street Chalupas contain “traditional street taco ingredients – like fresh onions and cilantro – remixed with premium proteins, all wrapped in chalupa shells that have been stuffed with melted mozzarella and pepperjack cheeses.” On top is a jalapeno ranch sauce.
The two protein options available for the Cheesy Street Chalupas are Cantina chicken or grilled steak.
