Taco Bell is expanding its crispy chicken offerings with the introduction of new Crispy Chicken Tacos and Burritos, available nationwide starting June 17, 2025, for a limited time. These items feature Crispy Chicken Strips paired with new Spicy Ranchero and Avocado Ranch sauces. The Crispy Chicken Tacos are priced at $2.79 and include a crispy strip with purple cabbage, lettuce, pico de gallo, and shredded cheddar cheese. The Crispy Chicken Burrito, priced at $5.49, contains two strips along with similar toppings.
Additionally, Taco Bell offers two Crispy Chicken Strips for $3.99. These new introductions follow the chain’s earlier launch of Crispy Chicken Nuggets. The Spicy Ranchero Sauce combines Anaheim and jalapeño chiles with tomatoes, garlic, and onion, while the Avocado Ranch Sauce offers a zesty ranch flavor with a hint of avocado. These sauces are available for individual purchase.
This launch is part of a broader trend in the fast-food industry, as chains compete in a “chicken wrap battle.” McDonald’s is reintroducing its Snack Wrap on July 10, 2025, while Popeyes is also adding Chicken Wraps to its menu for a limited time, highlighting the competitive atmosphere among fast-food brands.
