Cantina Chicken Menu
Now, let’s move on to the south-of-the-border sensation: the Cantina Chicken menu. Forget boring chicken options! Taco Bell is elevating the protein game with oven-roasted, shredded chicken seasoned with savory Mexican spices. This flavorful base stars in five new menu items:
- Cantina Chicken Burrito: Tender chicken, seasoned rice, black beans, creamy ranch dressing, and a vibrant pico de gallo salsa wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.
- Cantina Chicken Soft Taco: Savory chicken nestled in a soft flour tortilla with purple cabbage, pico de gallo, and a cool avocado verde salsa.
- Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco: The classic crunchy shell gets a flavorful upgrade with the chicken, purple cabbage, pico de gallo, and avocado verde salsa.
- Cantina Chicken Quesadilla: Melted cheese and the seasoned chicken join forces in a warm flour tortilla, creating a cheesy, satisfying experience.
- Cantina Chicken Bowl: All the deliciousness of the Cantina Chicken Burrito, deconstructed and ready for customization.
This lineup boasts bold flavors and fresh ingredients, offering a lighter and more flavorful alternative to traditional Taco Bell fare.
