1. 3-Cheese Chicken Flatbread Melt

Coming to Taco Bell stores on Jan. 11th, the 3-Cheese Chicken Flatbread Melt features a “soft flatbread filled with grilled, marinated, all-white meat chicken, creamy chipotle sauce, and a melted three-cheese blend consisting of cheddar, mozzarella, and monterey peper jack cheeses,” according to Taco Bell.

Customers can find this new item on the Cravings Value Menu for less than $3, and long-time customers who recognize this item from years ago are really excited. “The flatbread is coming back???” one customer asked. “I think it’s been since school-age that I’ve had that. Can’t wait!”

“Yessss Flatbread is back!!!” another customer wrote. “I used to love eating them in 2011.”

“I’ve missed the flatbread, it’s SO GOOD,” said another fan.
