Perhaps Taco Bell's Waffle Taco isn't quite goofy enough for you.
Well, Taco Bell's got an equally-wacky taco platform coming down the pike: the "dipping" taco.
No, that's not it's real name. The new platform has two offerings: one is called the Rolled Chicken Taco, and the other is a new twist on the Crunchy Taco. But they're both designed for dipping. The Mexican fast-food kingpin announced Thursday that this new taco platform -- the first taco sold by Taco Bell built expressly for dipping -- will be rolled out nationally on Thursday, Nov. 20.
New products are the lifeblood of fast-food. And as younger consumers keep demanding unlikely new products with more flavor and unconventional ingredients, Millennial-worshiping chains like Taco Bell are only too happy to please.
As it did with the Waffle Taco -- a warm waffle wrapped around sausage or bacon, scrambled eggs, cheese and syrup. -- the folks at Taco Bell are playing a tad loose with language. The "dipping" tacos aren't shaped exactly like conventional tacos. They look more like burritos. But they're stuffed with mostly taco ingredients.
The key is, they come with a choice of five different dipping sauces : new Spicy Ranch, Salsa, Guacamole, Nacho Cheese and reduced fat Sour Cream.
Rolled Chicken Tacos, made with all white-meat shredded chicken, will sell for $1.99 for a 2-pack and $3.99 for a 4-pack. Folks will also be able to purchase them as part of the new Taco Duo 12 Pack, available for a limited time. The Taco Duo 12 Pack will come with 6 Crunchy Tacos and 6 Rolled Chicken Tacos with 3 dips offered at ($10.99).
But, for the sweet-tooth crowd, there does seem to be one taco dipping sauce choice missing: chocolate syrup.
