As per National Restaurant News, Taco Bell has launched a Cheesy Chicken Crispanada. It is Taco Bell's twist on an empanada, and filled with shredded chicken and melted cheese. The fried deliciousness will be served with a side of spicy ranch sauce.

The item is available for $3.49 but sadly there is a catch. Taco Bell has made this new item available only in Knoxville, Tennessee for now.
