Tex Mex-Style Chicken Bowls

Taco Bell's New Avocado Ranch Bowl Comes with Chips and Guac

— June 12, 2019 — Lifestyle
While Chipotle has built a cult following for its burrito bowls, Taco Bell is hot on its heels with its new Avocado Ranch Bowl. Featuring two of the chain's newest ingredients—purple cabbage and grilled all-white-meat chicken—the new bowl could make Taco Bell the go-to destination for veggie-filled bowls.

Taco Bell's new Avocado Ranch Bowl is currently being tested in Cleveland, Ohio for a limited time. The new meal comes in a stadium-style box with chips and guacamole on the side. As for the bowl itself, the dish consists of homestyle-seasoned grilled chicken, paired with black beans, iceberg lettuce, purple cabbage, seasoned rice, and pico de gallo. The whole thing is then drizzled with a creamy avocado ranch sauce.
