Taco Bell is known for serving cheap Tex-Mex food. Some of the most popular items from the fast food giant include the Chalupa Supreme, the Crunchwrap Supreme, and the Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Now, the chain is entering new territory by adding chicken nuggets to the menu. The nuggets will consist of white meat marinated in a mild jalapeño buttermilk and coated in a breading made with crunchy tortilla bits. The item is being sold with three dipping sauces: jalapeño honey mustard, cheddar cheese sauce, and its special “bell sauce” — a combination of sweet honey, spicy jalapeño, and tangy mustard with subtle notes of chili peppers. So far, there’s been no word on what the nuggets will sell for, but they’re expected to be released for a limited time beginning Dec. 19, 2024. Since Taco Bell has a habit of bringing back discontinued items periodically, even if the nuggets aren’t a permanent menu item, there’s little doubt they’ll be back now and then.
