Taco Bell is giving its fan-favorite Chalupa a bit of an update with the debut of its new Chipotle Cheddar Chalupa.
For those unfamiliar, Taco Bell's Chalupa is essentially a fluffy flatbread taco shell filled with classic taco fixings. The new Chipotle Cheddar Chalupa features a cheesy flatbread shell filled with a Creamy Chipotle Sauce, along with your choice of seasoned beef, black beans, chicken, or steak. The tacos can be enjoyed on their own, or you can purchase a Chipotle Cheddar Chalupa combo that comes with two seasoned beef Chipotle Cheddar Chalupas, a Crunchy Taco, and a large fountain drink
Just in time for Christmas, the new Chipotle Cheddar Chalupa is available from participating Taco Bell locations nationwide starting December 23, 2021, for a limited time.
