KNOXVILLE, Tenn — Taco Bell is finalizing a new menu, and while some fans may never get over the loss of favorites like the Mexican Pizza or the Meximelt, the restaurant may bring an old favorite back.
The chain said it will start test marketing the quesalupa at Taco Bells in Knoxville.
The cross between a quesadilla and a chalupa was first introduced in 2016. It's a shell stuffed with melted mozzarella and pepper jack cheese, and stuffed taco ingredients like beef, lettuce, cheddar cheese, sour cream and tomatoes.
It was dropped from the menu a few years later.
The test will kick off on Sept. 24.
Taco Bell has been working on a streamlined menu in the past year, dropping many favorites and offering some new creations.
Starting Nov. 5, the Mexican Pizza, Pico de Gallo and Shredded Chicken (Including the Shredded Chicken Soft Taco, Shredded Chicken Burrito, and Shredded Chicken Quesadilla Melt) will no longer be available.
Earlier this year, the chain eliminated:
- Grilled Steak Soft Taco
- 7-Layer Burrito
- Quesarito (will remain available to order through the app or online)
- Nachos Supreme
- Beefy Fritos Burrito®
- Spicy Tostada
- Triple Layer Nachos
- Spicy Potato Soft Taco
- Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes
- Loaded Grillers (Cheesy Potato, Beefy Nacho)
- Chips & Dips
- Mini Skillet Bowl
