Simmer uncovered until the meat is cooked through (10 minutes). Cook for two minutes, stirring to evenly distribute the add-ins and then pour the water over the meat. Add the onion flakes, garlic powder, cornstarch, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, cayenne powder and sugar. It’s like a delicious multilayer dip all held together by a tortilla. Add the meat back to the skillet and bring it to medium heat. Crunchwraps are truly a marvelous feat of fast-food engineering. Its disc shape makes it easy enough to hold in one hand while the other guides Taco Bell’s Fire Sauce to dance around the edges. Spread the oil out onto the grill with a spatula. More often than not, as you get through the Crunchwrap, the tostada shell crumbles and two worlds start to blend into each other, making for a scrumptious hodgepodge of happiness. Step 1 Preheat the Blackstone grill over medium high heat (approximately 375-400 degrees F). You’re able to get the best of both worlds with the first couple of bites. At the center is a tostada shell with dual functions, providing that eponymous crunch while also serving as a divider to the top layer, a bed of iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. The bottom layer is a base of TBell’s signature ground beef drizzled with nacho cheese sauce, a greasy goodness you’re more than familiar with if you’ve had any other menu items. One bite into the invention and you will be exposed to its magic. Your love is valid.įrom the outside, the Crunchwrap Supreme is an unassuming, hexagonal parcel wrapped in a browned tortilla. As a half-Mexican from Southern California whose grandmother always had beans on the stovetop and would feed me chile con carne until I was close to bursting, I am here to affirm those who have also found room in their hearts for the Crunchwrap Supreme. In the other there are those who frown upon what they see as a bastardization of the foundation of a culture's cuisine. The Taco Bell staple tends to elicit polar reactions: In one camp you have diehard fans who see it as a divine mash-up of Mexican-food influences and on-the-go dining sensibilities sent down from the fast-food gods. I can willfully admit that the Crunchwrap Supreme has very little in common with anything my Mexican family would eat for dinner. The Crunchwrap Supreme is a Crunchwrap with diced tomatoes, lettuce, and sour cream on one side, and beef and melted Nacho Cheese on the other.
