We're still weeks away from the return of Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza, and already it looks like the fan-favorite might have a little competition. Thrillist reports that Taco Bell is currently testing the all-new Cheesy Chipotle Chicken Flatbread at select locations in Charlotte, North Carolina.
At first glance, the new flatbread looks a bit like the Mexican Pizza, thanks to the ample serving of cheese melted on top. The two menu items even appear to be packaged in a similar box.
Ingredients-wise, the flatbread, which comes buttered up and toasted, is in a league of its own. According to Thrillist, the Cheesy Chipotle Chicken Flatbread is topped with flame-grilled, marinated all-white-meat chicken, Creamy Chipotle sauce, crunchy tri-color tortilla strips, onion, and a familiar three-cheese blend. And if you like it hot, jalapeños can be added.

Those in the test market can pick up the Cheesy Chipotle Chicken Flatbread for $3.99. If you're feeling a bit famished, you can also order the flatbread as part of a $6.99 combo that also includes a Crunchy Taco and a large fountain drink.
It's unclear what the future of the Cheesy Chipotle Chicken Flatbread is outside of its test run in Charlotte, but if diners are impressed, there's a possibility that the dish could find a permanent place on the menu.
