Rolled Chipotle Chicken Melts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Taco Bell is Set to Debut the New Chicken Chipotle Melt in November

— September 4, 2020 — Lifestyle
Following the news that Taco Bell will be removing several popular items from its menu, the chain has also surprised fans by announcing that it will be debuting a new Chicken Chipotle Melt.

In the wake of COVID-19, Taco Bell has been gradually trimming down its menu to a more manageable size. However, this scaling back has also made room for some new innovations. On November 5, 2020, Taco Bell will begin serving up a new Chicken Chipotle Melt, Quesalupa, Dragonfruit Freeze, and Green Sauce. The Chicken Chipotle Melt will become a permanent fixture on the Cravings Value Menu, combining marinated all-white-meat grilled chicken with creamy chipotle sauce, and cheddar cheese. All these ingredients are rolled up and melted together for a flavorful and cheesy snack.
