'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.
