Taco Bell cranks up fast-food chicken wars with crispy strips, tacos and burritos — but only for a limited time

Taco Bell’s chicken nuggets were just the beginning.

The fast-food chain has introduced Crispy Chicken Tacos, Burritos and Strips to its menus for a limited time.

The new menu items will feature the company’s signature tortilla-coated crunch used on the Crispy Chicken Nuggets, but this time with a bigger bite as a Crispy Chicken Strip.

“Crispy chicken is having a moment, but our fans made it a movement,” Taylor Montgomery, Chief Marketing Officer at Taco Bell, said in a statement as the battle for fast-food chicken supremacy continues.

“So, we decided to bring our sell-out Nuggets recipe to the formats that defined our brand because true innovation means elevating the icons, not replacing them.”

Crispy Chicken Tacos will feature the new chicken strip with purple cabbage, lettuce, pico de gallo and shredded cheddar cheese for $2.79.

The Crispy Chicken Burrito includes two strips, purple cabbage, lettuce, pico de gallo and cheddar cheese for $5.49.

Chicken tacos and burritos will also come with a choice of two new sauces: Spicy Ranchero Sauce or Avocado Ranch Sauce.

Taco Bell is also offering an order of two Crispy Chicken Strips on their own for those who don’t want the whole package for $3.99.

The addition of Chicken Crispy Strips to Taco Bell’s menu comes as an apparent fast-food “wrap” battle is ensuing with chicken strips elsewhere.

After years of begging and waiting, McDonald’s confirmed that the Snack Wrap will return to restaurants nationwide permanently beginning July 10.

The Snack Wrap will feature one of McDonald’s new McCrispy Strips, topped with crisp shredded lettuce and shredded cheese, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla.

Popeyes also announced the addition of Chicken Wraps to its menu earlier this month.
