The only catch is that you won't be able to get this exclusive new menu item just anywhere. Taco Bell recently began testing its new $2 Stackers at locations in the Tuscon, Arizona area for a limited time. The new dish is essentially a [quesadilla filled with various toppings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-poblano-rolled-quesadilla) and folded over itself to create a "snack stack." The concept was originally tested all the way back in 2017, but didn't make it on to the permanent menu. This time around the new $2 Stackers are available in two varieties: Classic and Spicy. The Classic version is filled with seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, and a three-cheese blend, while the Spicy version features the same ingredient plus [pickled jalapeño peppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-steak-jalapeo-nacho-fries).
