Speaking of previously released menu items, this new thing in a tortilla is similar to an old thing in a tortilla \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2024\/03\/26\/taco-bell-new-cantina-chicken-menu-review\/\">Cantina Chicken Quesadilla<\/a>.

The chicken is lightly seasoned and pairs well with the cheeses and chipotle sauce, but it\u2019s all not too flavorful or exciting. But as mentioned earlier, it comes with a side of sour cream and a packet of Avocado Verde Salsa, which significantly enhanced the flavor, especially the latter, which I think is one of the best Taco Bell sauces. They take the menu item from &#8220;meh&#8221; to &#8220;mmm, okay.&#8221; I wish the default dipping sauce were the guacamole, because reduced-fat sour cream isn\u2019t exactly known for taking mouths to the flashy side of Tasty Town.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s my biggest issue with these Rolled Quesadillas: a regular quesadilla is fanned out when it\u2019s presented to you, so its price makes sense to me. But with these rolled ones, they look like burritos that got smooshed a bit too much in the grill press, making them appear less substantial than Taco Bell\u2019s regular burritos, which, in turn, makes them not worth the surprisingly high price, even if they have twice the chicken. Though I will admit their shape does make them less awkward to dip into a sauce cup than a regular quesadilla wedge.<\/p>\n<p>So, yes, Taco Bell\u2019s Rolled Quesadilla is back, but nothing about its size or flavor has improved to make me want to try the next one, if there ever is one. Maybe it needs to go back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $7.99*<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 570 calories, 28 grams of fat, 13 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 105 milligrams of cholesterol, 1410 milligrams of sodium, 46 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugar (includes 1 gram of added sugar), and 33 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Because I live on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here.
