The Salt & Straw x Taco Bell The Tacolate has been unveiled as a new collaboration between the brands that's crafted with taste, texture and quality in mind.
The treat is making its way to Salt & Straw locations and starts off with a hand-pressed waffle cone that's packed with cinnamon ancho chili ice cream. The treat is then dunked in single origin-sourced chocolate and finished with a dusting of toasted brown rice for a touch of additional texture. The taco comes served with custom sauce packets with Taco Bell branding in two flavor options including Wildberry Cinnamon and Mango Jalapeño.
The Salt & Straw x Taco Bell The Tacolate is also being launched for sale online in six packs alongside a commemorative keychain.
