taco bell spicy chicken crunchwrap supreme review

Tonight, for my fourth meal (at taco bell no less) after seeing a new sign on the menu that i would have the spicy chicken crunchwrap supreme. Aside from the regular beef crunchwrap supreme where you have a tostada shell, cheese sauce, sour cream with lettuce and tomatoes surrounded by a grilled soft flour tortilla they substitute the spicy chicken in place of their taco-spiced ground beef. For $1.99 this has got to be one of the best values they've offered in a while - not only do you get a pretty decent portion of food, the ingredients blend well and their spicy chicken with its tantalizing gravy making for a decent meal for only two dollars. Now mind you, there is no comparison to REAL mexican food made with fresh ingredients and authentic recipes, but for a quick cheap food fix that isn't dripping in grease this is what you want.

I of course complimented mine with a few packets of their preservative-laden fire sauce, because just about everything from taco bell tastes better with it (even the 44 ounce baja blasts!), but only after i took a few bites without to confirm my suspicions that this is indeed a fast food winner. If you wanted to make this somewhat healthier you could opt to have them forgo the cream and cheese in place of more vegetables or the pico de gallo they use on the "baja" gorditas and chalupas - but no one goes there because they're on the nicole richie diet, right?

And to wash the whole mess down i followed it with a berghoff dark, with its bold, creamy, nutty flavor serving as the perfect compliment to a perfect fast meal.
