Taco Bell To Offer ‘Street Tacos’ At New York State Locations

Street tacos are made from a corn tortilla filled with meat, and usually topped with a number of ingredients like salsa, cilantro, and onions.

What makes street tacos different from regular tacos served in restaurants is that they're a bit smaller, and often use two soft tortillas to hold in all the ingredients. The smaller size makes these more "traditional" tacos easier to eat, as the popular street food is often served from food trucks and other street vendors.

So what is one of the biggest Mexican fast food chains in the country doing serving their version of street tacos?
