Taco Bell is giving its Mexican Pizza—one of its most popular menu items—a "cantina glow up" and launching an all-new sauce to let fans refresh other faves this summer.
On Thursday, the Mexican-inspired fast-food chain revealed it would finally launch the Cantina Chicken Mexican Pizza, which it had initially teased at its third annual Live Más LIVE event this past March. But what the company didn't share at the time was that it would also be debuting a new Jalapeño Citrus Salsa.
"The Mexican Pizza is iconic for a reason. It’s that perfect layering of crispy, saucy, cheesynostalgia that fans have loved for years, so we didn’t want to reinvent it, we wanted to buildon it," Liz Matthews, global chief food innovation officer at Taco Bell, shared in a statement. “And because we know our fans are serious about sauce, we made sure the Jalapeño Citrus Salsa brings the extra spark that complements the Cantina menu."

And don't worry, the original Mexican Pizza recipe—which features seasoned beef and refried beans layered between two crispy, flour tortilla shells with Mexican Pizza sauce, diced tomatoes, and a blend of mozzarella, pepperjack, and cheddar cheeses on top—and the vegetarian versions aren't going anywhere. The lineup is simply expanding.
As for that new citrusy salsa, it features bright citrus, red jalapeños, and guajillo chiles, delivering a sweet-and-spicy flavor profile. It will be served with the entire Cantina Chicken lineup for a limited time. It's also available à la carte for $0.20.
