Just as the name suggests, the new Queso Fried Chicken Taco pairs [crispy fried chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-crispy-chicken-menu) with creamy queso cheese sauce. More specifically, each taco features a warm, soft flour tortilla filled with crispy all-white meat chicken tenders, shredded lettuce, and all-natural Cheddar cheese. The whole thing is then drizzled with [Taco John’s signature Queso Blanco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-johns2), which is made from a blend of three cheeses, red peppers, jalapeños, and smoky Hatch chiles. To celebrate the new offering, fans can order two Queso Fried Chicken Tacos for $6 as part of a limited-time offering. The new Queso Fried Chicken Tacos are available now through April 26, 2023.
