Where the OG Crunchwrap Supreme contains Nacho Cheese sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream, this new variant has crispy chicken as the main protein, plus a three-cheese blend, pico de gallo, and your choice of either Creamy Chipotle or Jalapeno Honey Mustard sauce. Being a slider, it\u2019s also important to note that it\u2019s smaller than the traditional Crunchwrap Supreme, making it ideal for a quick snack. (If you\u2019re hungrier, you can even get it as part of the Discovery Luxe Cravings Box combo.)<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ingredients peeking out of the Taco Bell Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-76606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl2.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl2.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl2.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the Slider shares the same iconic hexagonal shape as the original Crunchwrap Supreme, mine wasn\u2019t folded quite flawlessly, so I could see some sauce-coated bits of tomato peeking out. The small size came in handy here, since I was able to grip the Slider fully in one hand and keep the other ready to catch any fillings that might tumble out. My first bite was remarkably solid, which made sense when I realized I had bitten directly into one of the nuggets of crispy chicken. (\u201cI see, it\u2019s like a chicken nugget wrapped in a tortilla,\u201d remarked my husband, who, I guess, had never heard of a Crunchwrap before? Technically, there were three chicken nuggets in there, but his observation was more or less accurate.)<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider chicken nugget plumpness\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-76608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl4.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl4.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl4.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the plumpness of the nugget and the tasty fried coating, even if it was a bit dry. That problem was mitigated by mouthfuls that had more mustard, though I still couldn\u2019t help but think that shredded chicken would have been a better fit. I know, the whole reason this item exists is to promote the fact that Taco Bell sells chicken nuggets these days, but still! It also didn\u2019t help that my Slider came out a bit lukewarm, and my suspicions that it hadn\u2019t been properly heated all the way through were supported when I unwrapped it to see an abundance of unmelted cheese shreds.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"It kind of looks like a taco Salad with the tortillas peeled back.\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-76607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl3.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl3.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl3.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tobellcpchicruwrapsl3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The pico de gallo was mild, mostly sweet from the tomatoes, which obscured the onion\u2019s bite. And speaking of \u201csweet with a bite,\u201d the jalapeno honey mustard was a bit strange. I mostly tasted the acridness of the jalapeno, which was a tad too vinegary for my liking, though my very last bite somehow tasted like pure, classic honey mustard, so it wasn\u2019t the most consistent sauce.<\/p>\n<p>While the Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider didn\u2019t knock my socks off, I enjoyed it enough to try it again if the opportunity arises.
