(KTLA) - Taco Bell’s latest limited-time menu offering is another twist on a classic menu staple.  

On Thursday, the California-based chain debuted Cheesy Street Chalupas nationwide. The new menu item doubles as a new twist on Chalupa, which originally debuted in 1999, and a nod to street tacos and street food culture, the company said in a statement.

Taco Bell first tested the street chalupas in 2023 before rolling out a nationwide debut.

“The Chalupa has taken many delicious forms over the years, but with the Cheesy Street Chalupas, we set out to create a new flavor-rich way for fans to enjoy the beloved menu item,” Luis Restrepo, Taco Bell’s vice president of product innovation, said in a statement.
