Taco Bell’s latest innovation is barbecue sauce

About a month after introducing Crispy Chicken Strips in tacos and burritos, Taco Bell has come up with a barbecue sauce to go with them.

On Thursday, July 17, the Irvine-based chain introduced Sweet Chipotle BBQ sauce. It’s made with peppers, molasses and spices, according to a news release.

It can be ordered in a Sweet Chipotle BBQ Crispy Chicken Burrito for about $5.79, a Sweet Chipotle BBQ Crispy Chicken Taco for about $3.19, or as an add-on in a cup for 30 cents.

For now it’s available for a limited time, but Taco Bell has announced its intention to make crispy chicken a permanent part of its menu in 2026.

There’s always more on the way with Taco Bell. Beginning July 31, Taco Bell will be selling Dulce de Leche Cinnabon Delights for a limited time.

And the chain is testing a Tajín Taco with seasoned beef in Columbus, Ohio, and a new value menu in Indianapolis. It has five items, including a Mini Taco Salad.
