Customers Are Losing It Over News That Taco Bell Is Releasing 7 New Menu Items This Year: Cheesy Street Chalupas & More

Taco Bell aficionados, rejoice! The fast-food giant is set to bring our taste buds to boundaries with not one, not two, but seven exciting new menu items slated for release later this year. The eagle-eyed Instagram account @snackolator, dedicated to sharing the latest snack and fast-food scoops, recently shared the good news with followers.

In a caption that set the internet abuzz, @snackolator revealed, “Taco Bell is bringing so many great releases in 2024 and we still have SEVEN big releases left!” Find all the details below.

Cheez-It Supreme & Tostada

At the forefront of the excitement for many is the Cheez-It collaboration, promising a fast-food experience of epic proportions. “The biggest one to me is the Cheez-It collab where you get a ginormous Cheez-It that is SIXTEEN times the size of a standard one,” exclaimed the caption. Hungry fans can expect options like the Supreme Cheez-It Supreme or Tostada, offering a delicious twist on the beloved snack.

Mountain Dew Baja Blast Gelato

But the excitement doesn't stop there. Taco Bell enthusiasts can look forward to cooling off with Mountain Dew Baja Blast gelato, slated for release at the end of summer. According to @snackolator, the gelato flavor proved so popular during testing that it sold out within a mere 2-3 days—an impressive feat for any dessert.

Dulce de Leche Cinnabon Delights

For those with a sweet tooth, the prospect of Cinnabon delights infused with Dulce de Leche is especially exciting. And savory cravings are catered to with the introduction of Chicken Nuggets, Cheesy Street Chalupas, and Chicken and Steak Enchilada Grilled Cheese Dipping Tacos.

Chicken Nuggets

We honestly never thought we'd see chicken nuggets at Taco Bell—seems more up Wendy's alley—but there's a first time for everything. And these sound amazing; the all-white chicken meat is marinated in spiced jalapeño buttermilk, and tortilla-coated breading gives them a crisp finish. They come with both Bell sauce and jalapeño honey mustard for dipping.

Cheesy Street Chalupas

Prepare for a cheesy indulgence like no other with Taco Bell's Cheesy Street Chalupas. Combining the iconic street food appeal of chalupas with a generous serving of gooey cheese, this mouthwatering creation promises to satisfy cravings for savory satisfaction.

Chicken and Steak Enchilada Grilled Cheese Dipping Tacos

Rounding out Taco Bell's lineup of exciting new releases are the Chicken and Steak Enchilada Grilled Cheese Dipping Tacos. If you liked the original birria-inspired grilled cheese dipping tacos from last summer, then you're in for a treat with this new twist. Just like the OG version, these tacos are grilled to perfection, complete with a toasty three-cheese blend (both on the inside and outside of the crispy corn tortilla) and sour cream. But instead of the usual birria beef, they'll be filled with chicken or steak. And of course, they're perfect for dipping into those delicious sauces. Yum!

While these mouthwatering additions have been announced for this year, @snackolator reminds followers that items are subject to change.

Adding to the excitement is the opportunity for Taco Bell fans to cast their votes on a returning menu item. Will it be the beloved Meximelt or the nostalgic Apple Empanadas? The decision rests in the hands of customers, with rumors suggesting a potential comeback around Halloween.

In the comments section, many are clamoring for the return of the Apple Empanadas, with one fan declaring, "They bring that caramel apple empanada back I swear I’ll never take it for granted again!!"

Regardless of which menu item wins, one thing is certain: With each new addition promising innovation and indulgence, it's clear that the fast-food chain is pulling out all the stops to delight its loyal fan base.
