1. Taco Bell is testing three new items, including two types of Flatbread Melts and a Shredded Beef Grilled Cheese Burrito, in select markets in Dayton, Ohio, and Oklahoma City. The success in these markets could lead to a national launch.
2. The Flatbread Melts feature grilled chicken and a three-cheese blend, with variations in sauces, while the Shredded Beef Grilled Cheese Burrito introduces Taco Bell's new slow-braised shredded beef. The items are priced between $2 and $5.59.
3. Alongside these new items, Taco Bell is celebrating the freeing of the Taco Tuesday trademark with free Doritos Locos Tacos and a partnership with DoorDash for a $5 million taco tab, though the latter offer is not available in New Jersey.
Taco Bell is celebrating its successful campaign to free the Taco Tuesday trademark by giving away free Doritos Locos Tacos every Tuesday through September 5 and partnering with DoorDash to open a $5 million taco tab on September 12.
The DoorDash offer will not be available in New Jersey, the only state where the Taco Tuesday trademark registration hasn't been canceled.
