Liz Matthews, the Global Chief Food Innovation Officer of the company, shed light on the new menu item and said:

"The rich and spicy flavors often found in birria were a major point of inspiration as we created the new Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco. By combining slow-braised shredded beef with the two dipping sauces, our fans can enjoy a new range of flavors they may have never had from Taco Bell before. This Mexican-inspired dish represents an evolution of what fans typically expect from Taco Bell. We're excited to bring this menu item nationwide after an incredibly successful test in 2022."

The restaurant chain has also teamed up with Los Angeles-based hospitality and lifestyle marketing firm, The h.wood Group, to host an event on August 1 called 'Taco Bell | Bootsy Bellows Presents: Tacos: The Next Chapter' to highlight this new menu item.
