Taco Bell Launches New Menu Item
Our love for Taco Bell runs deep. I started ordering the Mexican Pizza way back before it became legendary. And, now Taco Bell launches a new menu item nationwide on December 22. According to chewboom.com, Taco Bell successfully tested the Salsa Verde Grilled Chicken Burrito at locations this year. So, it becomes available nationwide starting Thursday. I’m a big fan of anything containing salsa verde. This dish starts with a warm flour tortilla filled with grilled marinated white meat chicken. But, that’s not all. The tortilla, filled with seasoned rice, reduced-fat sour cream and a blend of cheddar and mozzarella and pepper jack cheese, also has a green chile sauce. As Taco Bell launches the new item, they make it available a la carte for $2. It is part of the Cravings Menu.
Some speculate the tomatillo based sauce might pack a slight kick if it resembles a sauce the brand used to offer on the menu. The new Salsa Verde Burrito joins the Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito added to the Cravings Menu as well. Apparently, the company took the salsa verde sauce off the menu in 2016. And, fans dreamed of its return in some fashion all these years. The die-hards hope the new item contains that same familiar sauce. However, if not, bottles of the sauce are still available at Walmart and on Amazon. But, discerning critics point out that it’s not quite the same. The chain tests many items from time to time. Of course, they don’t all make the cut to go nationwide. And, they don’t all stick around as permanent fixtures. Ultimately, fan popularity drives decisions. Just look at the Mexican Pizza. I, for one, think that should never go away again! And, you can bet I’m happy to test out the new burrito.
