The Crunchwrap Supreme is a hexagonal burrito item sold at Taco Bell. The shape is formed from a crunchy tortilla wrapped in the middle. Within the burrito is beef, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and nacho cheese sauce. It was introduced to the menu 2005, and became a permanent menu item in 2006.[3] It was positively received, and is considered one of the most popular items on the menu.[4]
History
[edit]The Crunchwrap Supreme was created by Lois Carson, a former member of Taco Bell's food innovation staff, in 2005.[5] The idea was to create menu items that could be eaten easily on the go or in the car. In its first six weeks 51 million units were sold, and it later became the fastest selling item in Taco Bell history.[6]
