"I remember Taco Bell introducing the Crunchwrap Supreme in the summer of 2005 — a quesadilla-esque item built from a layer of seasoned ground beef, nacho cheese, a tostada, sour cream and shredded lettuce, all wrapped in tortillas — whose hexagonal shape and griddled seal gave structural support so toppings wouldn’t spill out. It became a menu staple and Taco Bell’s most-ordered item, and its portability and late-night appeal helped cement its status in fast-food culture and inspire countless chef-made riffs during the pandemic." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
