Taco Bell is looking to expand its sauce portfolio by testing out a new Caliente Cantina Sauce to pair with the new Caliente Cantina Chicken Menu.
Available for a limited time from participating locations in the Cincinnati, Ohio area, the new Caliente Cantina Sauce is described as a "spicy, bright, creamy sauce with citrus notes." The unique sauce flavor comes from the use of red jalapeno peppers. The sauce is also specifically designed to pair with the brand's new Caliente Cantina Chicken Menu, which includes items like the Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco, the Cantina Chicken Quesadilla, the Cantina Chicken Burrito, and more. All of the dishes will be served with the new but with the new Caliente Cantina Sauce.
