Taco Bell Tests Grilled Cheese Dipping Tacos in Minneapolis-St. Paul and Nashville Areas

Taco Bell tests two different versions of new Grilled Cheese Dipping Tacos for a limited time in two different markets: the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and the Nashville, TN area.

Participating locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area offer the Seasoned Beef Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco, which features a crispy white corn tortilla shell filled with seasoned beef and melted cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack cheese and sporting grilled cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack cheese on the outside. Taco Bell's Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco comes with either red sauce or nacho cheese sauce for dipping and goes for $2.99.

The Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco can also be ordered as part of a Deluxe Box for $7.99. The Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco Deluxe Box includes a Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco, Beef Chalupa Supreme, Beefy 5 Layer Burrito, Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce, and a medium fountain drink.

Over in Nashville, participating locations offer the Shredded Beef Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco, which sees the same taco as the Minneapolis-St. Paul area but with a new, braised, shredded beef and a slightly higher price at $3.49.

The Shredded Beef Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco can be ordered a la carte or as part of a $5 Cravings Trio combo or Deluxe Box for $7.49.

The $5 Cravings Trio combo includes a Shredded Beef Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco, Doritos Locos Tacos, and a large fountain drink.

The Deluxe Box includes a Shredded Beef Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco, Seasoned Beef Chalupa Supreme, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Cinnamon Twists, and a medium fountain drink.

The Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco appears to be Taco Bell's take on a quesabirria ("quesa" being cheese and "birria" being a type of braised beef or goat) taco, which is typically a taco made by taking a corn tortilla dipping it in the braising broth (usually referred to as "consomme"), heating on a flat-top grill with cheese before adding the beef and condiments. It's often served with a small cup of consomme for dipping.
