US-based fast-food restaurant chain Taco Bell has expanded its menu with the nationwide launch of a new Mexican-flavoured offering, Cheesy Chicken Crispanada. 

The Cheesy Chicken Crispanada is a creative twist on the classic empanada, featuring a blend of Mexican-inspired flavours.  

The limited-time offering combines tender seasoned chicken, Mexican spices and melted cheese encased in a crispy taco shell.  

The newly launched offering was recently unveiled at Live Más LIVE [a brand-funded event in Las Vegas, Nevada, US] after undergoing testing in Tennessee in 2023. 

It can be purchased for $3.49 across participating US locations, subject to availability. 

The prices of the new offerings may vary from restaurant to restaurant.  

The addition of Cheesy Chicken Crispanada to its menu is part of its strategy to fuse different flavours to create new culinary experiences.

In December 2023, Taco Bell re-introduced its Double Decker Taco to mark the holiday season.  

The Double Decker Taco, which was launched across US locations, is a bean-filled tortilla offering.  

It includes seasoned beef, lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese in a taco shell.
