Taco Bell welcomes back
Grilled Cheese Burrito
The Grilled Cheese Burrito has returned at
participating Taco Bell locations.
The Grilled Cheese Burrito is available in three
meaty varieties: seasoned beef, double steak and
spicy double steak, all of which include fiesta
strips, nacho cheese sauce, seasoned rice, creamy
chipotle sauce, three-cheese blend and reducedfat
sour cream wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla,
with more three-cheese blend grilled on the top.
The indulgent burrito was first introduced in
2020 and draws inspiration from the classic grilled
cheese sandwich.
Pizza Hut adds
Melts to menu
Pizza Hut entered the handheld category in late
2022 with its Pizza Hut Melts. Melts were designed
for individuals to have an option to enjoy pizza
without having to order a whole pie.
One order of Melts features two slices of Pizza
Hut's signature Thin N' Crispy crust loaded with
toppings and cheese, folded over, baked and served
with a dipping sauce. In its original release, Pizza
Hut Melts were available in four recipes: Pepperoni
Lover's, Buffalo Chicken, Chicken Bacon Parmesan
and Meat Lover's.
" With Melts, now there's a new way to get the bold
Customers can get the Grilled Cheese Burrito
a la carte or as part of a Grilled Cheese Burrito
Deluxe Box along with a Chalupa Supreme, a Nacho
Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos, Chips and Nacho
Cheese Sauce, and a medium fountain drink.
The Grilled Cheese Burrito can be found at
participating Taco Bell locations across the country
for a limited time.
The Cantina Crispy Melt Taco has also returned
to Taco Bell's menu, but it has dropped the
" Cantina " from its name. Aside from the name
tweak, the limited-time-offer taco is the same as
when it was orignally released in the fall of 2021.
The item was silently removed from menus in
winter 2022.
The Crispy Melt Taco consists of " a white-corn
shell, freshly fried daily, with a melted layer of our
three-cheese blend and nacho cheese sauce and
filled with seasoned beef, reduced-fat sour cream,
lettuce, tomatoes and real shredded cheddar
cheese, " according to the chain's website.
While the item is currently available nationwide,
it will only be on the menu for a limited time.
flavors of your favorite pizza - or what you might get
on your favorite sandwich - just for you, whenever
and wherever you want, " said Lindsay Morgan, chief
marketing officer at Pizza Hut.
In addition to the original Melts recipes, Pizza Hut
has introduced the limited-time Cheesesteak Melt,
which is filled with melted cheese and sirloin steak
strips and other toppings, baked and finished with
butter and parmesan oregano seasoning; served
with ranch sauce for dipping.
In addition to the Melt, Pizza Hut has also
introduced the Cheesesteak Pizza, which includes
sirloin steak strips, alfredo sauce, green bell peppers,
onion, and topped with parmesan oregano. It
is available as a medium or large pizza with the
customer's choice of crust.
" With a history of bringing craveable food to
consumers, our culinary team is always thinking of
new and creative ways to expand our innovation
pipeline, " said Morgan. " Using top-quality
ingredients, these new Cheesesteak offerings deliver
a unique taste profile with great value. "
