When you think of Taco Bell, you probably think of getting a quick, cheap Mexican food fix, often at, say, 2 in the morning. But the fast-food chain no longer wants to be known as a greasy spoon. To compete with Chipotle (considered a "premium" chain), Taco Bell has launched a new "gourmet" menu -- designed by a TV chef -- that includes fancier ingredients like whole black beans, cilantro rice, fire-roasted corn salsa and pico de gallo. The best part? The new items at Taco Bell are still $5 or less.
Developed by chef Lorena Garcia, who has appeared on NBC's "America's Next Great Restaurant," the new Cantina Bell includes: whole black beans with Mexican spices; cilantro rice with onion, garlic, and parsley; citrus and herb-marinated chicken with tomatillo; new guacamole made with Hass avocados, jalapenos, cilantro and tomatoes; fire-roasted Corn salsa with red and green peppers and spices; creamy cilantro dressing; pico de gallo, diced tomatoes and onions with cilantro, lemon juice and vinegar; vegetarian versions of salad bowls and burritos
The gourmet menu at the fast food chain launches July 5 across the U.S. Will you check out the new eats? Or do you avoid fast-food places like Taco Bell -- even with its added gourmet style?

+5Sounds delicious. I'll have to try it after it rolls out. In the restaurant business, like any other business, if you aren't moving forward you are falling behind. I applaud Bells initiative.
