Taco Bell is reviving its popular Big Cheez-It menu with an exciting new lineup, featuring a significantly enlarged version of the classic Cheez-It cracker. This latest promotion, which kicks off on September 20 and will be available for a limited time, introduces a series of menu items designed to highlight the oversized cracker.
The star of the reintroduced menu is the à la carte Big Cheez-It, which boasts a size 16 times larger than a standard Cheez-It. Priced at $1, this giant cracker is perfect for superfans of the Cheez-It brand.
The Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap Supreme is another standout in this promotion, now enhanced with two of the giant Cheez-It crackers incorporated into the signature Crunchwrap. This upgraded version includes the familiar ingredients of seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, lettuce, reduced-fat sour cream, and diced tomatoes.
Additionally, the Big Cheez-It Tostada, available for $2.99, combines the large cracker with seasoned beef, diced tomatoes, lettuce, and reduced-fat sour cream, providing a flavorful and satisfying twist on the traditional tostada.
