What Sauce Is in Taco Bell Quesadillas?

Taco Bell puts creamy jalapeño sauce in its Chicken, Steak and Cheese Quesadillas. The sauce is creamy, tangy and mildly spicy, with just enough jalapeño kick to cut through the melted cheese. Even a reviewer who ranked Taco Bell’s quesadilla last praised the sauce.

The Cantina Chicken Rolled Quesadilla uses a different sauce: creamy chipotle, plus sour cream for dipping and Avocado Verde Salsa for drizzling.

You can’t buy the sauce in a bottle. In the Taco Bell app, you can add extra to a quesadilla or put it on other items, like a burrito.

Every Taco Bell Quesadilla Explained

Chicken Quesadilla

The Chicken Quesadilla ($5.99, 490 Cal) is Taco Bell’s most popular quesadilla. It has grilled chicken, a three-cheese blend and creamy jalapeño sauce in a flour tortilla that Taco Bell grills until crisp. Many locations also sell it as a combo with a side and a drink.

Steak Quesadilla

The Steak Quesadilla ($6.59, 500 Cal) swaps the chicken for marinated, grilled steak. Everything else stays the same: three cheeses and creamy jalapeño sauce.

Cheese Quesadilla

The Cheese Quesadilla ($5.69, 440 Cal) skips the meat and keeps the three-cheese blend and creamy jalapeño sauce. It’s the cheapest quesadilla and the only vegetarian one.

Cantina Chicken Rolled Quesadilla

Taco Bell added the Cantina Chicken Rolled Quesadilla ($6.99, 650 Cal) to its permanent menu. Taco Bell wraps slow-roasted Cantina chicken, a three-cheese blend and creamy chipotle sauce in a flour tortilla, then rolls and grills it. It comes with sour cream for dipping and Avocado Verde Salsa. Taco Bell says it has double the chicken of its original Cantina Chicken Quesadilla.

Best Taco Bell Quesadilla to Order

  1. Cantina Chicken Rolled Quesadilla: the most filling, with double chicken and two sides for dipping.
  2. Chicken Quesadilla: the classic, and the best balance of price and flavor.
  3. Steak Quesadilla: the best pick if you want a heartier filling.
  4. Cheese Quesadilla: the cheapest, and the go-to for vegetarians.

How to Customize a Taco Bell Quesadilla

  • Add extra sauce: ask for extra creamy jalapeño sauce in the app.
  • Add toppings: add jalapeños, beans, pico de gallo or guacamole.
  • Ask for it double-grilled: fans ask the cashier to grill the tortilla twice for a crispier outside. The app doesn’t offer this option, so ask in person.
  • Pair it with a dip: order a side of nacho cheese sauce or guacamole.

Limited-Time Quesadillas

Taco Bell sometimes adds quesadillas for a short time. The Steak and Poblano Rolled Quesadilla arrived with seasoned steak, three cheeses, spicy ranch sauce and fire-roasted poblano peppers. It’s not on the regular menu, and the Cantina Chicken Rolled Quesadilla took its place.
