Taco Bell Just Added Four New Items to the Menu
Taco Bell has been on a roll, launching menu additions to plenty of fanfare. The fast-food giant had fans celebrating the recent comeback of the Mexican pizza, which it will honor with a TikTok musical starring Doja Cat and Dolly Parton on May 26 (yes, really).
While the return of the Mexican Pizza may steal the spotlight, Taco Bell has just added four more items to the menu you won't want to miss. Some of these novelties are seasonal and some are market tests. However, if you're in the right place at the right time, you may get to try them!

Brisk Dragon Paradise Sparkling Iced Tea
Taco Bell knows its way around a beverage, having already delighted customers with things like Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Starting this week, fans can try the Brisk Dragon Paradise Sparkling Iced Tea for a sweet and refreshing way to wash down a spicy taco.
The drink is a combination of tropical dragon fruit, raspberry, blackberry, and hibiscus tea flavors with a fizzy sensation. It is available for a limited time at select Taco Bell restaurants.
Dole Lemonade Strawberry Squeeze
For those that love strawberry flavors for summer, the Dole Lemonade Strawberry Squeeze may be the perfect Taco Bell drink. This lemonade with a burst of strawberry flavor is a twist on a classic summer beverage.
Just in time for the hot weather, Taco Bell is now serving the Dole Lemonade Strawberry Squeeze for a limited time at select restaurants.
Toasted Cheddar Chalupa
For the 1,000 fans that signed the Change.org petition to bring back the Toasted Cheddar Chalupa, the day has finally come. Taco Bell has brought the popular item back, if only for a short time.
For those who didn't get to try the cheesy twist on the traditional chalupa, the Toasted Cheddar version features 6-month aged cheddar crisped up on the outside of the chalupa shell which is then loaded with seasoned beef, sour cream, tomatoes, lettuce, and more cheddar. The beef can be swapped out for chicken, steak, or black beans for a vegetarian version.
The Toasted Cheddar Chalupa can be ordered a la carte or as part of a Toasted Cheddar Chalupa Box (and its Deluxe version). The standard Box comes with a medium fountain drink, Toasted Cheddar Chalupa, Crunchy Taco, and Cinnamon Twists for $5.49, while the Deluxe Box features a medium fountain drink, Toasted Cheddar Chalupa with chicken, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, and a Crunchy Taco for $7.49.
Grilled Cheese Biscuit
Taco Bell is now testing a Grilled Cheese Biscuit at select test locations in Knoxville, Tenn., as part of a new breakfast experiment.
The warm buttermilk biscuit is topped with a melted three-cheese blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack cheese and comes with or without a sausage patty.
According to ChewBoom, the grilled cheese version is $1.99 and the sausage version is $2.49.
