Taco Bell is testing a new Steak & Potato Loaded Quesadilla at select locations in the Oklahoma City area. The chain is testing the limited-time menu item, and the description reads like a sandwich of sauces and textures folded into one dish.
The Build
The quesadilla starts with grilled, marinated steak and cheddar cheese. Those are the base ingredients. Then comes the warm Nacho Cheese Sauce, followed by Creamy Jalapeño Sauce, and finished with crispy potato bites. Everything gets folded into a warm flour tortilla and grilled.
The final touch is presentation: it is served cut in half rather than the wedge-cut of Taco Bell’s regular quesadillas.
Spicy Version
Some locations are also testing a Spicy Steak & Potato Loaded Quesadilla. That version is identical except for one addition: pickled jalapeños. Both options carry the same price tag — $6.99.
Where to Find It
Taco Bell is testing the item at select locations in the Oklahoma City area. That means not everywhere carries it, and not every customer can try it yet.
The test is for a limited time.
The Cost
$6.99 is the full cost of entry. That price applies to both the standard Steak & Potato Loaded Quesadilla and the Spicy version.
The pricing is simple: one price, two choices. Customers who want the spicy jalapeños pay the same as those who stick to the standard build.
What the Test Measures
Limited-time menu items are a standard part of fast-food marketing. This one combines steak, potatoes, and two creamy sauces into a single folded dish.
The Oklahoma Test
The quesadilla is available now at select locations in the Oklahoma City area. The test is ongoing.
| Item | Ingredients | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Steak & Potato Loaded Quesadilla | Steak, cheddar, Nacho Cheese Sauce, Creamy Jalapeño Sauce, potato bites | $6.99 |
| Spicy Steak & Potato Loaded Quesadilla | Same, plus pickled jalapeños | $6.99 |
Our View
This is a fun experiment. The combination of steak, potatoes, and two creamy sauces sounds messy, and that is likely the goal. The Spicy version adds a jalapeño kick for customers who want it. Both options share the same price, so there is no financial risk in trying the spicy route.
The test is worth watching.
