Taco Bell is bringing back its Naked Chicken Chalupa, along with an even spicier version, on Thursday.
The Naked Chicken Chalupa — perhaps one of the chain's more outlandish offerings, at least when it first debuted in January 2017 — has a shell made out of white-meat fried chicken and Mexican spices, which is then filled with lettuce, tomato, cheese and an avocado ranch sauce.

Taco Bell tested out these spiced-up chicken chalupas last year in Missouri and Kansas, Fox News previously reported.
Taco Bell-lovers in Cleveland can also experience a third option. There, consumers can order a Nacho Cheese Chicken Chalupa that contains — you guessed it — nacho cheese.

The two national chicken-shelled offerings will be available at participating Taco Bells for $2.99 each, or included in a $5 box that also contains a Doritos Locos Taco, hard-shell taco and medium drink.
Fans of the Naked Chicken Chalupa, be warned: The chalupas are only back until mid-July, Taco Bell said.
