In an effort to continue expanding its ever-growing menu of snack-sized dishes, Taco Bell has announced the return of its dippable Rolled Chicken Tacos. Not only are the new tacos the perfect size for snacking, but their tightly rolled shape also makes them portable enough for consumers to enjoy on the go.
The Rolled Chicken Tacos were previously introduced several years ago as Taco Bell's take on taquitos. Now back on the menu, the Rolled Chicken Tacos feature the same shredded chicken filling rolled in a corn tortilla and then deep-fried. The tacos are also served with a side of dipping sauce, which includes options such as nacho cheese, guacamole, salsa, reduced-fat sour cream or Spicy Ranch.
Available in packets of two or four, the zesty handheld tacos are perfect for a mid-day snack.
