New sauce, new crunch, new obsession. Taco Bell’s crispy chicken line is a vibe.
HOUSTON — Taco Bell just went into full crunch mode, and we’re here for it!
Starting Tuesday, fans in Houston and across the country can sink their teeth into the all-new crispy chicken tacos, burritos and strips. It’s a full-on flavor takeover, and it’s only here for a limited time.
Coming off the sell-out success of its crispy chicken nuggets, Taco Bell is clearly on a crispy mission. After this limited-time launch, the new items will become permanent in 2026.
So, what’s inside? Each taco or burrito is stuffed with crunchy tortilla chip-coated chicken strips, crisp lettuce, purple cabbage, pico de gallo, shredded cheddar, and your choice of creamy Avocado Ranch or spicy Ranchero sauce.
Want just the chicken? The strips stand alone — ready for dunking, double-dipping or devouring straight-up.
Cultural icons and celeb fans are part of Taco Bell’s new hype squad. The Office‘s Kate Flannery, rapper GaTa to basketball star Kamilla Cardoso, and chef Christian Petroni are getting in on the action.
