How to make Taco Bell鈥檚 Crunchwrap Supreme at home

Nothing sums up the deliciousness of a Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme more concisely than the love letter to it on the daily humor website McSweeney鈥檚. All of the Crunchwrap鈥檚 beauty is perfectly summarized in that piece: the convenience of not having to choose between a soft or crunchy tortilla, the patches of sour cream randomly placed throughout it, and a creamy, indulgent nacho cheese sauce that is the ying to the meat鈥檚 yang. And it鈥檚 all wrapped together in a soft tortilla shell that makes it easy to enjoy one-handed without making a mess. 聽 As one of the most successful products in the history of fast food (until that Doritos Locos Tacos came around), the Crunchwrap Supreme is loved by many because of its south-of-the-border flavors and ingenuity in design. Because it's shaped like a hexagon, the idea of calling it a "Mexagon" was once thrown around, but in the end the three words that perfectly describe it became its name: it鈥檚 got crunch, it鈥檚 a wrap, and it鈥檚 supreme in flavor. There are many reasons to make a Crunchwrap Supreme at home. It once was a limited-time item on Taco Bell鈥檚 menu, and the fear of ever losing it again is still something we hold on to almost every single day. At 540 calories and with 21 grams of fat, it鈥檚 no walk in the park for nutrition鈥檚 sake, but by making it at home you have more control over what is going in the dish. And lastly, it鈥檚 a fast-food item, and there are so many of us out there who can appreciate good taste, but aren鈥檛 always willing to line up at the drive-thru for it. And so it is for these reasons and probably even more that we鈥檝e decided to take on the task of making a Crunchwrap Supreme at home. While the Irvine, Calif., company was unwilling to help us with our endeavor, we think we have been able to create a do-it-yourself recipe successfully for the home cook. We examined every aspect of the menu item, from the consistency of the meat and the spices used to flavor it to the wrap鈥檚 exact construction so that it upheld all of the same tastes, flavors, and ease-of-eating qualities that the store-bought one has. We even added a few additions of our own (like enjoying it with taco sauce), to make it special, unique, and 鈥� most importantly 鈥� homemade. They can鈥檛 blame us for copying them; they鈥檙e the ones who told us to think outside the box (or is it bun?).

America's best hot dogs

The hot dog is one of the few foods that鈥檚 nearly impossible to screw up. You heat it through, tuck it into a bun, squirt on some mustard, and call it lunch. But there鈥檚 a big difference between not screwing something up and turning it into a paradigm-shifting, transcendental dining experience. And there are lots of hot dog stands, restaurants, and drive-ins out there that have the power to change your life. The perennial grill mate to hamburgers, the hot dog sometimes gets the short end of the stick, charring at the back of the grill while juicy burgers are snatched up as soon as they hit the right temperature. But there鈥檚 a science, if not an art form, behind constructing the perfect hot-dog-eating experience. That experience was introduced more than 100 years ago, when German immigrants first brought over their frankfurters and started selling them on the cheap at amusement centers like Coney Island, arguably ground zero for American hot dog consumption. Charles Feltman is widely considered to be the first person to have applied hot dog to bun, in order to avoid needing to supply plates and silverware to customers at his sprawling Coney Island restaurant. Employee Nathan Handwerker opened his own hot dog stand a few blocks away in 1916 and sold them for less than Feltman, and became wildly popular (and remains so to this day). The hot dog diaspora then began to take on a life of its own, as people began developing their own spice mixes and making their own hot dogs, and every region and group of people soon put its unique stamp on the snack. Greek immigrants in Michigan concocted a cinnamon-rich beef chili that came to be known as Coney sauce, but it has nothing to do with Coney Island, while 鈥榤ichigans鈥� are big in Upstate New York but have nothing to do with the state. In Chicago they top all-beef dogs with mustard, fresh tomatoes, onions, sport peppers, bright green relish, dill pickles, and celery salt. Spicy Texas Red Hots are popular in New Jersey, but not in Texas, and the uncured, unsmoked White Hot is popular in upstate New York. And the regional variations go on and on. According to a recent study by GrubHub, the country鈥檚 most popular hot dog topping is cheese, followed by chili, mustard, onion, and Chicago-style. Ketchup is further down on the list, and, surprisingly, sauerkraut is down towards the bottom. 聽 On our quest to find America鈥檚 best hot dogs, we kept an eye out for drive-ins, restaurants, and roadside stands with a definitive style of hot dog and topping, one which embodies not only the region鈥檚 quirks but the particular tastes and culinary traditions of its people. We judged these hot dogs based on several criteria: the quality of the ingredients (sourcing the franks from well-known regional producers and using fresh-chopped onions, for example), the entire hot dog-eating experience, from driving up to placing your order to taking that first bite, as well as reputation among professional critics and online reviewers. In order to be included in our list, the vendor needed to have a trademark dog, with toppings that are unique and renowned. For example, Ben鈥檚 Chili Bowl in Washington, D.C. doesn鈥檛 just have a trademark frank (the half-smoke), it has a trademark topping (chili), is well-regarded by locals and professional eaters alike, and eating there is a memorable experience unto itself. For those reasons, it鈥檚 high on our list. Sadly, there were some popular favorites that didn鈥檛 make the cut. While Lafayette Coney Island in Detroit ranks high, its modernized neighbor, American Coney Island, didn鈥檛, because it lost much of its charm in the renovation. And while the pretzel dog at chain Auntie Anne鈥檚 has its loyal devotees, the experience isn鈥檛 exactly sublime. Our list runs the gamut from ancient stands that have been serving the same exact product day in and day out for decades to gastropubs putting their unique stamp on the hot dog to a place where people wait in line for more than an hour for one topped with foie gras. There鈥檚 one constant thread between them, though: they鈥檙e the country鈥檚 best.

Now that we think about it, there isn鈥檛 actually a time of year when we鈥檙e not dreaming of barbecue, but with summer coming up, it seems as good a time as any to plan a road trip to the following meat masters. 聽

America's top tater tots

There鈥檚 something magical about the humble Tater Tot. Some might even argue that it鈥檚 the perfect food: bite-size, salty, crispy, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, greasy but not overly oily, and a great vessel for just about any topping. Its abundant nooks and crannies allow for nearly limitless surface area (aka more crunch) and it boasts a pillowy interior that french fries can only hope to emulate 鈥� let鈥檚 just say there are many reasons why it鈥檚 one of our favorite childhood foods. "Tater Tot" is actually a registered trademark of Ore-Ida, the company that invented them in 1953. Founders F. Nephi and Golden Grigg (great names) found themselves with an excess of potato scraps after making french fries, and were sick of selling them off for a pittance as animal feed. So they chopped them up, added in some flour and other seasonings, and then sent the whole mess through an extruder and into the deep-fryer. And a legend was born. Tots straight out of the deep-fryer are certainly a wonder to behold (as many a cafeteria worker can attest), but one thing that makes tots great is their versatility. They can be eaten plain, sure, but why not top them with, say, pulled pork? In today鈥檚 no-holds-barred, the-fattier-the-better foodiverse, tots have taken off, most likely because not only does the humble processed spud serve as a great vessel for all types of toppings, it also takes us back to a simpler time, when all we needed to be happy was something deep-fried and delicious (come to think of it, that still applies). Recently, tots have been making their way onto menus, and in a big way. Plenty of bars and restaurants are topping their tots with some unbelievable stuff, and even high-end places like Bar Boulud in New York City and The Aviary in Chicago offer highbrow versions of this lowbrow treat. We鈥檝e tracked down the best tots in the country, from pub grub utopia to fine dining whimsy, and ranked them accordingly. While some are made in-house, others are simply fried to perfection and topped with something great. The main criteria? All these tots hit that spot that only the perfect tot can hit. So loosen your belt, and read on for our list of the country's top tots.
