Taco Bell is Testing a New Menu Item in Texas

Some would argue Taco Bell has NEVER served "Mexican" food. And their march away from it continues.

They're testing new 'Crispy Chicken Nuggets' at locations in Houston, Texas this month. They also did a small test run in Minneapolis last year.

Their Nacho Fries have been popular, so maybe nuggets are the logical next step?  They do at least include a few ingredients associated with Mexican food.

And speaking of Nacho Fries, those things are GREAT and you should try them!

They're infused with a jalapeño buttermilk marinade and coated in crushed-up tortilla bits. They also come with one of two sauces: A new "Bell Sauce", or a Jalapeño Honey Mustard (which sounds AWESOME!). A five-piece costs about $4, and a 10-piece costs $7. No word on when they might offer them nationwide.

This isn't actually the first time they've dipped their toe in the chicken nugget game. Which is surprising since most of their clientele seem to be of the 'Chickie Nuggie' variety.

They also had something called Naked Chicken Chips back in 2017.

They were triangular chicken nuggets you dipped in nacho cheese. Fans were upset when they got discontinued. I thought they were gross though. It's literally the only Taco Bell item I didn't like on their menu! My favorite menu item, you ask? Well, obviously it's the Breakfast Sausage Crunchwrap. Put a little Fire sauce on that baby and GOOD MORNING!

What do you think? Are you taking a road trip to Houston to try these things?!?
