On Monday, a spokesperson for Taco Bell confirmed to FOX Business that the “fan favorite” Toasted Cheddar Chalupa will grace U.S. menus once again on Nov. 5, for a limited time. After a run on U.S. menus last year, the cheesy chalupa, featuring six-month aged cheddar, was most recently available in Canada as a perfect pairing for its signature “Jalapeno Noir” wine.

To that end, the spokesperson teased that customers can look forward to more vegetarian spins on limited-time menu offerings in 2021, too.
