# Sandwich-Inspired Chalupas Taco Bell Canada Has a New Chicken Bacon Club Chalupa By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2023-10-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-bacon-club-chalupa References: [canadaeats](https://canadaeats.ca/taco-bell-canada-unveils-new-chicken-bacon-club-chalupa/)  [Taco Bell Canada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-4) is making chalupa lovers very happy with its newest release: the [Chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texascut-bacon-churchs-chicken-sandwich) Bacon [Club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-club-sandwiches) Chalupa. Unlike its tacos, Taco Bell's chalupas feature fried shells that are rigid and boat-shaped. The new Chicken Bacon Club Chalupa takes this same format and then draws inspiration from a classic sandwich combo for the filling. The new menu item features a shell made of fried dough filled with grilled chicken, crispy bacon, spicy ranch sauce, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a three-cheese blend. The new dish can be ordered on its own, or as part of the Chicken Bacon Club Chalupa Big Box combo, which comes with a crunchy beef taco, a side of fries, sweet cinnamon twists, and your choice of drink.
