Perfect for bacon lovers, the new Crispy Chicken Chipotle Bacon Melt Burrito features a flavorful chipotle-seasoned bacon. The bacon is also paired with crispy chicken strips, melted shredded cheddar, shredded lettuce, and Avocado Ranch sauce, all wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla and grilled until warm and crispy on the outside. The burrito can be ordered on its own, or as part of a combo meal that also includes a [Regular Nacho Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caliente-cantina-chicken-nacho-fries), a Doritos Locos Taco, and a large fountain drink of your choice. The new burrito makes its debut alongside the return of Taco Bell's [Crispy Chicken Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-crispy-chicken-menu) and Pineapple Freeze drink.
