Ready for a new take on Taco Bell tacos? Inspired by the hearty, rich flavors of birria, the new Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco feature slow-braised shredded beef – a brand new protein offering from Taco Bell – with a three-cheese blend melted on the inside and grilled on the outside of a freshly fried daily white corn shell. Taco Bell has long been known for its iconic seasoned beef and this is the first time the brand is offering shredded beef on its menu nationally, after nearly two years of perfecting the recipe.

To celebrate this new menu item, Taco Bell has partnered with Los Angeles-based, hospitality and lifestyle marketing company The h.wood Group on an event happening on August 1, Taco Bell and Bootsy Bellows Presents: Tacos: The Next Chapter. The event featured tasting of the new Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco, specialty cocktails featuring award-winning Lobos 1707 Tequila & Mezcal and musical performances from Miguel and Anderson .Paak at the Hollywood Athletic Club in Los Angeles.
