Taco Bell's new Grilled Cheese Dipping Tacos are currently being tested at select locations in Minnesota and Tennessee. In Minnesota, the brand is testing a Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco made with seasoned beef, a three-cheese blend, and creamy jalapeño sauce, all stuffed inside a freshly fried, white-corn tortilla shell with three-cheese blend melted and grilled on the outside. In Tennessee, the brand is testing a Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco made with shredded beef (instead of seasoned), three-cheese blend, and creamy jalapeño sauce stuffed inside a fried white-corn tortilla shell with three-cheese blend grilled until crispy on the outside. In both test markets, the Grilled Cheese Dipping Tacos are available a la carte or as part of a combo.
