Exclusively available from select locations in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the new Cheesy Jalapeño Mexican Pizza is an even cheesier take on a classic Taco Bell dish. Usually, the brand's Mexican Pizza consists of two crispy flour tortilla shells, layered with beans, pizza sauce, seasoned beef, diced tomatoes, and a melted three-cheese blend. The new Cheesy Jalapeño Mexican Pizza takes the same ingredients, but adds nacho cheese sauce on top and a smattering of spicy pickled jalapeño slices. The Cheesy Jalapeño Mexican Pizza will be available as of December 22, 2022, at select locations.
