Taco Bell: Retired items that need to be brought back ASAP

6. Naked Chicken Chalupa

The Naked Chicken Chalupa was originally introduced back in January of 2017, and only offered as a limited time offer, then leaving the menu that same February (so you basically got one whole month to try it originally, UGH). Then, Taco Bell announced that the Naked Chicken Chalupa would be making a comeback back on May 10,2018; however, since then, no one has seen it on a menu, and what a disappointment.

This particular menu item is right up there with the Pintos & Cheese in my personal opinion. In my opinion, this was probably one of Taco Bell’s most genius menu items to ever be released. The breaded chicken shell replaces the traditional flour tortilla shell, but it’s not the only menu item to replace the shell (years ago, an egg taco shell came out as a breakfast item but it is no longer available anymore).

With the breaded chicken shell (that is the most delicious part of this whole thing), this delicious menu item is filled with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and a creamy avocado ranch sauce only. There was no meat inside of it because the protein portion was already taken care of with the breaded chicken as the shell. While I have absolutely no idea how they could possibly get the chicken to stay in the shape of a taco shell, I really don’t care because no matter how they get it like that, it’s delicious nonetheless. One thing I added one time was some nacho cheese sauce, and that just topped it off in the most perfect of ways possible!

One good thing! Some carbs are saved with having the chicken as the shell, if you’re so worried about that (just as a little fun fact here).

DEAR TACO BELL, PLEASE BRING THESE BACK ALONG WITH PINTOS AND CHEESE! YOU’LL BE DOING EVERYONE A FAVOR IN THE LONG RUN, INCLUDING YOURSELVES!
