Taco Bell is putting its own stamp on the classic poolside resort menu with local ingredients and options like the Avocado Toast-ada with radish, chipotle-seasoned sorghum and diablo puffs, or the Toasted Cheddar Club with [hand-breaded crispy chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-chicken-strips-menu), jalapeño bacon, avocado, sharp cheddar, lettuce, tomato and aioli, all of which is served with a side of Nacho Fries.
