Taco Bell Introduces Cheesy Street Chalupas Nationwide

Taco Bell has launched a new menu item, the Cheesy Street Chalupas, available for a limited time at participating locations across the United States. The new offering debuted on Thursday and will be sold "while supplies last," according to the Yum! Brands subsidiary. Customers can purchase the Cheesy Street Chalupas in bundles of two for a price of $5.49. The Cheesy Street Chalupas are inspired by traditional street tacos, featuring ingredients such as fresh onions and cilantro, combined with premium proteins. These ingredients are wrapped in chalupa shells that are stuffed with melted mozzarella and pepperjack cheeses, topped with a jalapeno ranch sauce. Taco Bell aims to capture the essence of street food culture with this new item, drawing inspiration from its previous Quesalupa shell introduced eight years ago. The fast-food chain has a significant presence in the U.S., with approximately 87% of its 8,555 locations as of March 31 situated in America. Taco Bell has also tested the Cheesy Street Chalupas in October, making them a familiar sight for some customers. The brand, which operates in over 30 countries, is part of Yum! Brands, which also owns KFC, Pizza Hut, and The Habit Burger Grill. In financial news, Taco Bell reported revenues of $598 million in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting its strong market position and ongoing popularity among consumers.
