Taco Bell and Cheez-It have teamed up once again for what they’re calling a “groundbreaking culinary alliance” to launch a pair of revolutionary menu items: the new Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap Supreme and new Big Cheez-It Tostada.
These new menu items are made with a large Cheez-It cracker that is 16x larger than the standard version, with a 1:1 crunch to cheese ratio.
Beginning today, May 30, 2024, Taco Bell Rewards Members will get exclusive early access to the Big Cheez-It items through the Taco Bell app, ahead of nationwide debut on June 6.
In 2022, the two giants of the industry joined forces to test the Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap Supreme and the Big Cheez-It Tostada at one select Taco Bell location in Irvine, CA. This initial test exceeded expectations, with fans expressing enthusiasm for the unique offerings. The resoundingly positive feedback prompted Taco Bell and Cheez-It to amplify both the scale and cheesiness of the menu items, deciding to introduce them nationwide—bringing a fresh wave of innovation to fans across the country. The grand comeback of this collaboration was unveiled at Taco Bell’s inaugural Live Más LIVE event earlier this year.
The Big Cheez-It offerings feature an oversized cracker—a Cheez-It cracker 16 times larger than the standard size—tailored specifically for the revamped iterations of the Crunchwrap Supreme and Tostada. Crafted with 100 percent real cheese and featuring the beloved ridges that fans recognize, this massive cracker acts as the perfect foundation for Taco Bell’s newest menu additions.
Here’s a closer look at the new Big Cheez-It lineup:
- Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap Supreme (priced at $5.49): This Crunchwrap Supreme is made with seasoned beef, warm nacho cheese sauce, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cool reduced-fat sour cream, but the original tostada shell is substituted with a Big Cheez-It cracker before being wrapped in a grilled tortilla.
- Big Cheez-It Tostada (priced at $3.99): This Tostada takes the Big Cheez-It cracker and tops it with layers of seasoned beef, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and cool reduced-fat sour cream.
- Big Cheez-It Box (priced at $8.99): This box comes with a Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap Supreme, a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, regular sized Nacho Fries, and a medium fountain drink.
Taco Bell Rewards Members can find the Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap and Big Cheez-It Tostada in the Taco Bell app from May 30 through June 5, and will be available for everyone else for a limited time starting June 6, 2024.
I tried the tostada tonight, kind of of high priced for the amount of food you get.
On the plus side, I fully expected the cheez it to get soggy, but it survived the car ride home, the wait while I ate a taco, and I made it thru the entire thing without it breaking.
The sour cream keeps it all together, but mine was mostly in the middle, which meant a lot of lettuce and tomato’s abandoned ship.
I’d like to see a giant cheez it topped with beef, jalapeno sauce (or other sauce, applied on the beef), then covered with three cheese blend and run in the salamander, then topped with another giant cheez it when it comes out. Or put the top one on, cover it with cheese and broil it… The Cheez It Grilled Cheezer
