Taco Bell Introduces Three New Chef-Crafted Crunchwrap Supreme Flavors, Blending Global and Classic Tastes
The Crunchwrap Supreme has been a fan favorite since its debut in 2005, with its signature hexagonal shape packed with seasoned beef, nacho cheese, and the usual taco ingredients. This year, three chefs—Reuben Asaram, Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, and Lawrence “LT” Smith—are headlining the new flavor releases, each bringing a unique culinary twist to the classic menu item:
- Chef Reuben’s Indian Buffet Crunchwrap Supreme: This flavor is inspired by Chef Reuben's childhood memories and features slow-roasted chicken in creamy tomato curry, Mexican-spiced rice, cucumber mint sauce, and pico de gallo. A vegetarian option with crispy potato bites is also available.
- Chef Jenn’s Crispy Thai Noodle Crunchwrap Supreme: A blend of Asian and South Texas flavors, this Crunchwrap includes marinated chicken in khao soi aioli, crispy wheat noodles, sour cream, onions, cilantro, and avocado basil, offering a modern twist on comforting noodle soup.
- Chef LT’s Southwest Hot CHX Crunchwrap Supreme: Inspired by family gatherings, this flavor features chicken nuggets tossed in salsa macha, Oaxaca-style mozzarella, Monterey Jack cheese, purple cabbage slaw, and apricot hot sauce, creating a perfect balance of heat and comfort.
