Taco Bell fans are in for a treat as the popular fast-food chain unveils its latest creation, the toasted cheddar street chalupa. The innovative menu item combines the fan-favourite toasted cheddar chalupa, introduced in 2019, with the cheesy street chalupa, launched last year.
The new toasted cheddar street chalupas feature cheddar cheese baked into the fried shells, giving them an extra cheesy punch. These handheld delights are then packed with a delicious blend of onions, cilantro, shredded cheese, chile lime crema, and a choice of either slow-roasted Cantina chicken or grilled steak. Priced at $5.50 for a pair, both chalupas must have the same protein selection.
For those looking to sample a variety of Taco Bell offerings, the Discovery Luxe Box offers a tantalising deal. The meal deal includes the toasted cheddar street chalupas, a nacho cheese Doritos Locos taco, a crunchy taco, cinnamon twists, and a medium drink, all for $9.
Taco Bell is also delighting customers with the introduction of the Caliente Cantina Chicken nacho fries. Building on the success of the Caliente Cantina Chicken menu launched in 2024, these loaded fries feature slow-roasted chicken, nacho cheese sauce, cheddar cheese, tortilla chip strips, sour cream, and Caliente sauce atop a bed of fries.
In a nod to its loyal customers, Taco Bell is offering a special promotion for reward members. On April 15, during the chain’s weekly Tuesday Drop event from 5 p.m. ET to 6 p.m. ET, app users can enjoy the new toasted cheddar street chalupas for just $1.
