Inspired by the vibrant culture of street tacos, Taco Bell’s Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupas revive the fan-favorite street chalupas with a bold new edge: a crispy new exterior and craveable sauce. Street food is all about bold flavors, bright ingredients and a touch of creativity and this next evolution in Taco Bell’s ode to street food culture infuses the best of traditional street tacos – simple ingredients like onions and cilantro – into a crispy toasted cheddar shell and a new Chile Lime Crema Sauce. This new menu item provides a new flavor experience that’s craveable from the outside in.
Building on a legacy of bold chalupa innovations, Taco Bell is merging two fan-favorite menu creations from the past – the Toasted Cheddar Chalupa from 2019 and last year’s Cheesy Street Chalupas – to deliver the ultimate mashup of crispy, cheesy and street-inspired indulgence. The new menu item is now available nationwide for $5.49 a la carte starting March 27, for a limited time while supplies last.
“The street taco is a cultural staple built on bold flavor and quality ingredients, and the Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupas honors that tradition while bringing in a unique Taco Bell touch that packs even more flavor into every bite,” said Luis Restrepo, Taco Bell’s Vice President, Product Innovation. “Fans immediately fell in love with the crispy, cheesy bite of the Toasted Cheddar Chalupa in 2019, and now we’re elevating that street-inspired flavor experience and that’s exactly the kind of comeback our fans have been waiting for.”
Unique Tasting Experience with Flavors That Hit from the Outside In
The Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupas deliver a striking first impression with layers of flavor inside and out. Here’s the breakdown:
- Toasted Cheesy Shell: A chalupa shell with a layer of mild cheddar, baked directly into the dough, and toasted to perfection for a crispy, cheesy, and savory bite.
- Premium ingredients: Packed with fresh onions and cilantro – an ode to the street taco – and a choice of slow-roasted Cantina chicken or grilled, marinated steak.
- Saucy surprise: Chile Lime Crema Sauce – a bold and zesty fusion of lime, fiery chile peppers, garlic, parmesan, and Romano cheeses, bringing all the flavors together in harmony.
Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupas are available for a limited time at participating Taco Bell locations nationwide, starting at $5.49 for two chalupas (same protein per order).
