    New chicken nuggets and loaded fries at Taco Bell
    • April 15, 2026

    Taco Bell teased more than 20 new items for 2026 at its annual Live Mas Live fan event in March.

    The first of those items, Diablo Dusted Crispy Chicken Nuggets, will drop on Thursday, April 16, according to a news release from the Irvine fast food giant.

    The item features chicken nuggets breaded with tortilla chip crumbs and dusted with seasoning made with its own Diablo Sauce, the news release said.

    A five-piece serving will go for around $4.99, while 10 pieces will cost $7.49. Combos will cost $9.99 and $10.99. Prices vary by location.

    Taco Bell announced the spicy nuggets in a lavish TV special taped at the Hollywood Palladium. It debuted March 10 on NBCUniversal’s Peacock but is no longer streaming.

    The nuggets were not the most outrageous item in a lineup that included an edible hot sauce packet and Mountain Dew Baja Blast under-eye pads.

    Taco Bell has more limited-time items coming out April 16, according to a separate news release.

    Zab’s Chicken Ranch Nacho Fries is a collaboration with Los Angeles-based  Zab’s Hot Sauce.

    Zab’s is known for its use of datil peppers, which are considered a Florida specialty. Taco Bell is working with Zab’s St. Augustine Style sauce, which promises a “sweeter heat for fuller flavored foods.”

    The fries are made with chicken, nacho sauce, a three-cheese blend and pico de gallo before being topped with a Zab’s ranch sauce.

    After eight years of being a popular limited-time item, basic Nacho Fries were declared permanent at the Live Mas event.

    Taco Bell is also bringing back its Triple Double Crunchwrap on Thursday. It’s made with seasoned beef, nacho sauce and sour cream.
