[Taco Bell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cantina-crispy-chicken-tortada) is helping fans get through the dark days of winter with a new limited-edition new menu offering: [Cantina](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-box-giveaway) Crispy Chicken Tacos.

Taco Bell just announced the launch of new Cantina Crispy Chicken Tacos in two tasty varieties. First up is the Cantina Crispy Chicken Taco with Chipotle, which features crispy chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, cheddar cheese, and [creamy chipotle sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caliente-cantina-sauce) all wrapped in a flour tortilla. The Cantina Crispy Chicken Taco with Avocado Ranch also features a flour tortilla filled with crispy chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, and cheddar cheese, but with avocado ranch sauce instead of chipotle.

Both of the new tacos can be enjoyed a la carte, or as part of a Cantina Crispy Chicken Taco Deluxe Box.
