Taco Bell has launched a first-of-its-kind Sweet Crunchwrap and four other new menu items in July 2026, according to multiple reports. The chain is also rolling out $3 steak burritos amid a cyclosporiasis outbreak that forced lettuce removal from some locations.
The Sweet Crunchwrap is a dessert-inspired twist on the classic. It features a crispy shell filled with cinnamon sugar and creamy toppings. Currently, it is only available in select test markets, per Yahoo Life. A national rollout is not confirmed.
Four other items are hitting menus more broadly. The Fresca Pepper Jack Steak Burrito and Melty Pepper Jack Steak Burrito both cost $3. They contain marinated steak, a new Pepper Jack sauce, and a three-cheese blend but no lettuce.
Taco Bell also revived the Enchirito, a flour tortilla filled with seasoned beef and refried beans topped with red sauce. A Chili Cheese Burrito has been added to the menu as well.
The cyclosporiasis outbreak, linked to contaminated produce, prompted Taco Bell to remove lettuce from certain restaurants. The new steak burritos are lettuce-free, emphasizing cooked proteins and sauces. This move aims to reassure health-conscious customers while offering affordable options.
