MCLEAN, Va. – Taco Bell isn’t done with new offers, particularly during the breakfast daypart.

“First, there was the Waffle Taco. Now, Taco Bell's new breakfast menu has begun to test its closest cousin: the Biscuit Taco,” reports USA Today.

The newspaper notes that Taco Bell is trialing the new offer as part of its six-month-old breakfast menu, which the QSR hopes will “siphon even a tiny bit of business away from McDonald's and its estimated 25% share of the fast-food breakfast market.”

The Biscuit Taco is just that: a flakey butter and buttermilk biscuit that’s shaped like a taco and filled with egg, cheese and a choice of sausage or bacon. It also comes layered with a new jalapeno honey sauce, notes the newspaper.

Taco Bell is testing the new offer in the Orange County and Los Angeles markets, which follow up on tests “in Southern, biscuit-friendly communities of San Antonio, Texas and Atlanta.”

Taco Bell is also expanding its A.M. Crunch breakfast wraps. In mid-October, it will add the A.M. California Crunchwrap, featuring bacon, hash browns, eggs, guacamole, cheddar cheese and pico de gallo, and the A.M. Country Crunchwrap, with sausage, hash browns, eggs, gravy and cheddar cheese. Both have been tested in the Orange County and Los Angeles markets, notes USA Today.
