\"Taco<\/a><\/p>\n

Cheap.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s what Taco Bell does best.<\/p>\n

What Taco Bell is also good at is coming up with a gazillion varieties of the same products. So many different tacos. So many different burritos. So many different Freezes. And now so many different Crunchwrap Sliders.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with Crunchwrap Sliders, let me put it to you this way. If the original Crunchwrap is Khloe Kardashian, then Crunchwrap Sliders are the significantly smaller Kourtney Kardashian. Oh wait\u2026I should really write the previous sentence this way: If the original Krunchwrap is Khloe Kardashian, then Krunchwrap Sliders are the significantly smaller Kourtney Kardashian. Now it’s korrect.<\/p>\n

Last year, about this time, these smaller Crunchwraps debuted with three varieties \u2014 <\/a>Beefy Cheddar, Spicy Chicken, and BLT. This year two of the flavors are back \u2014 Beefy Cheddar and BLT \u2014 but this time they\u2019ve brought along the new Sriracha Chicken and Spicy Beefy Nacho.<\/p>\n

The Sriracha Chicken comes with shredded chicken, Fritos chips, and Taco Bell\u2019s sriracha wrapped hexagonal in a flour tortilla. The Spicy Beef Nacho has seasoned beef, Fritos chips, creamy chipotle sauce, and nacho cheese sauce in a flour tortilla.<\/p>\n

Yes, there aren\u2019t a lot of ingredients in each one. But the lack of components does two things: it keeps the menu item cheap and allows our taste buds to really notice the sauces in them. <\/p>\n

The Sriracha Chicken is somewhat similar to last year\u2019s Spicy Chicken with chipotle sauce. The only part that\u2019s different is the sauce. I didn\u2019t think too highly of the Spicy Chicken because it wasn\u2019t very spicy. But this new chicken Crunchwrap Slider has a bit more heat, although I wish it had more. It\u2019s not \u201cOh my God, I need some Mountain Dew Baja Blast NOW\u201d hot, but it\u2019s a step above what the Spicy Chicken offered. <\/p>\n

As you can see in the photo above, the chicken wasn\u2019t shredded, it was chopped into chunks, which I didn\u2019t mind. It was also a little dried out, but still easy to chew. Again, because there weren\u2019t a lot of ingredients, I could really taste the garlic and peppers from the sriracha, which was something I really didn\u2019t experience with Taco Bell\u2019s Sriracha Quesarito. Because of the sriracha, this Crunchwrap Slider is my favorite out of all of them.<\/p>\n

\"Taco<\/a><\/p>\n

My new third favorite is the Spicy Beefy Nacho (BLT is my number two). The creamy chipotle sauce isn\u2019t very spicy, but it has a nice smoky, zesty flavor that seems to work better with their seasoned beef than their chicken. Yeah, I\u2019m talking about you, Spicy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider. The mixing of the chipotle sauce with the nacho cheese sauce created a nice queso flavor. If you liked the Beefy Cheddar version, but wished it has a bit more flavor, then the Spicy Beefy Nacho will satisfy your taco hole.<\/p>\n

As for the Fritos chips, despite being in flour tortilla cocoons, they were able to maintain some crunchiness. And because there aren\u2019t a lot of ingredients to get in the way of each other, I could taste the corn and salt from the Fritos as I ate my way through each one. Thank goodness because what’s the point of having Fritos if we can’t taste the Fritos.<\/p>\n

For a dollar, both of these new Crunchwrap Sliders are totally worth it. They prove once again that Taco Bell knows how to do cheap and tasty. Now if only the chain would add these to their regular menu.<\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Taco Bell Sriracha Chicken and Spicy Beefy Nacho Crunchwrap Sliders
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $1.79 each*
\nSize:<\/b> N\/A
\nRating:<\/b> 9 out of 10 (Sriracha Chicken)
\nRating:<\/b> 8 out of 10 (Spicy Beefy Nacho)
\nPros:<\/b> Cheap. Sriracha Chicken is way better then Spicy Chicken. The sauces. Chipotle sauce works better with seasoned ground beef than shredded chicken. Fritos chips remained somewhat crunchy.
\nCons:<\/b> Something so small has so much sodium. Those looking to burn their mouths will have to burn their mouths with something else. Wish the Sriracha Chicken had a bit more heat. Not cheap here on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here. You’ll probably pay less than I did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
