Which Tex-Mex restaurant chain created the Crunchwrap Supreme?

Taco Bell created the Crunchwrap Supreme, a portable Tex-Mex fast-food item designed to hold several fillings in a hexagonal tortilla wrap.

Taco Bell introduced the Crunchwrap Supreme in 2005. Its construction combines a soft flour tortilla with seasoned meat, nacho cheese sauce, a crunchy tostada shell, sour cream, lettuce, and tomatoes. The tostada layer supplies the crunch while helping separate the wetter ingredients from the outer tortilla.

The Crunchwrap Supreme is often confused with a traditional Mexican dish because it uses familiar ingredients such as tortillas, beans, cheese, and salsa. However, it is a modern Taco Bell menu creation rather than an old regional recipe. Its name refers to the crunchy interior and the “Supreme” version’s additional toppings, not to a formal culinary classification.
