Cheez-It lovers have been eagerly waiting for this day for two years: the introduction of the Crunchwrap they deserve. A Crunchwrap boasting a colossal Cheez-It. Perhaps it rings a bell, owing to Taco Bell teasing fans with this mouth-watering attraction as early as 2022.

In what was a preview of things to come, Taco Bell performed a trial run of a Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap and a Big Cheez-It Tostada at one of their locations in Irvine, California. And just as their catchy names suggest, these items replaced the traditional crunchy tortillas with giant Cheez-Its. But this isn't merely a tortilla dusted with hints of Cheez-It, we're talking about full-blown, supersized Cheez-Its.

Subsequently, Taco Bell delivered the good news after the trial: these Cheez-It-feature dishes had the potential to adorn their nationwide menus. Meanwhile, the Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos taco supplied the cheesy comfort we craved - until now.

Food influencer @markie_devo shared an Instagram post that ushered in the dawn of our long-awaited massive cracker days. According to Devo, these cheesy creations will be enjoyable via early access for app users from May 20 to June 5. Following that, an eager public will be able to taste them nationwide from June 6th at every Taco Bell.

Taco Bell verified the announcement with a lively TikTok. The Big Cheez-It Tostada is a mammoth Cheez-It square embellished with seasoned beef, diced tomatoes, lettuce, shredded cheese, and reduced-fat sour cream. The Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap, armed with a similar set of ingredients, replaces the tostada shell with a colossal Cheez-It.

Moreover, the taco giant aims to expand its liquid offerings this June, per Devo. Strawberry Limonada and Vanilla Creme Limonada are slated to make their splashy debut. The Strawberry Limonada blends a new Limonada lemonade flavor with a strawberry freeze base. Meanwhile, the Vanilla Creme Limonada has the same lemon-flavored base, but it's enriched with a dash of vanilla creamer.

However, all good things must come to an end. The Cheez-It Tostada and Crunchwrap are slated to exit the menu by July 17th or as soon as supplies run out.

In the meantime, for those who cannot wait until June, there's always the retro diner by Cheez-It in Woodstock, New York, where you can indulge in a Big Grilled Cheez or some Cheesy Chicky Tendies.
