Taco Bell’s Slow-Roasted Chicken Nachos Grande features a double portion of slow-roasted chicken (compared to the Cantina Chicken Soft Taco), refried beans, warm nacho cheese sauce, a three-cheese blend (mozzarella, pepper jack, and cheddar), pico de gallo, reduced-fat sour cream, and guacamole, served over a bed of tortilla chips.
It came in a box and cost me $6.99.
The box was filled pretty well with a decent amount of chicken, toppings, and chips. Topping coverage was pretty good, although I always find myself wishing for just a little more nacho cheese sauce.
As with a lot of things at Taco Bell, the combination of flavors was very familiar, as the Grande Nachos aren’t much different from Taco Bell’s previous nachos in a box (or regular menu Nachos BellGrande, for that matter). Compared to Nachos BellGrande, you get more food for a similar price ($5.99 for the seasoned beef version of both at my local Taco Bell). I would guess it to be a third more food. It’s definitely shareable.
What stood out from the Grande Nachos over Nachos BellGrande was the guacamole and pico de gallo, which added an acidity that the latter lacks (it has sour cream and tomatoes, but they don’t add much).
The chicken was also interesting, as Taco Bell’s limited-time nachos usually come with beef (either seasoned ground beef or steak). The slow-roasted chicken was tender and meaty with a nice seasoning to it. I much prefer it to the chain’s previous chicken, which was milder in flavor and less satisfying texture-wise.
Overall, Taco Bell’s Slow-Roasted Chicken Grande Nachos get a thumbs up from me. While familiar, there was a nice variety of flavors and textures to go with a good amount of food for the money.
