Taco Bell recently began testing new Beefy Melt Burritos at select locations in the Columbus, Ohio area.
Taco Bell's new Beefy Melt Burritos are hearty burritos that come in three tasty varieties: Cheesy, Crunchy, and Spicy. All three burritos are made up of seasoned beef paired with seasoned rice, a melty three-cheese blend, creamy nacho cheese sauce, and reduced-fat sour cream. The Cheesy Beefy Melt Burrito is the most standard option you can get, while the Crunchy Beefy Melt Burrito features the addition of cheese-flavored tortilla strips dubbed 'Queso Strips,' and the Spicy Beefy Melt Burrito also includes pickled jalapeno slices and Creamy Chipotle sauce.
Both items are currently only available as part of a limited-run test.
