Last month, Taylor Swift did something unprecedented: On the Billboard Hot 100 chart following the release of Midnights, every song in the top 10 spots was by Swift, a feat that no other artist had ever done before. Meanwhile, Drake and 21 Savage just had a massive album of their own, Her Loss, drop recently. With all the buzz around it, it looked like it had a shot of actually repeating Swift’s feat.
Now, though, the top 10 spots of the Hot 100 chart dated November 19 have been revealed, and Drake and 21 managed to get only eight of the top 10 songs. Songs from Her Loss occupy spots No. 2 through No. 9, with “Rich Flex” coming in at No. 2. Those tracks are sandwiched by Swift’s “Anti-Hero,” which stays at No. 1 for a third week, and Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ former chart-topper “Unholy” at No. 10.
This comes a little over a year after Drake occupied nine of the top 10 spots on the Hot 100 back in September 2021. So, Drake it now the only artist to simultaneously have at least eight top-10 songs on the chart on two different occasions. With the latest chart, Drake now has a total of 67 career top-10 songs, which extends his record for the most of all time.
The trailer for Netflix’s hit series Sky Rojo was released today (November 14). In the upcoming third and final season, Argentine pop star Lali is joined by Puerto Rican superstar Rauw Alejandro, who is a new addition to the cast.
The first season of Sky Rojo was released on Netflix in March 2021. A second season followed in later that year on July 23. The show was created by Álex Pina, who was the director and producer for hit series Money Heist. Sky Rojo follows three women who are escaping prostitution and on the run from their pimp. Lali plays the character of Wendy.
The third season of Sky Rojo will be released on January 13, 2023. In the trailer, Lali and her co-stars Verónica Sánchez and Yany Prado are shown fighting back against the people that once held them captive. Alejandro is also appears to get in on the gun-wielding action. It’s not yet known what character he plays in the series.
On Twitter, Alejandro reposted the trailer for Sky Rojo with three freezing emojis. On Friday, he released his new album Saturno. That same day, Lali released the music video for her new dance track “Motiveishon.” The song follows her string of single releases this year that includes “Diva” and “Disciplina.”
The entire first 20 minutes or so of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is an extended tribute to Chadwick Boseman, beginning with a montage in the middle of the credits. Fair enough; the lead actor dying is sort of the elephant in the room here. It was nice that they didn’t recast it with a look-alike and just move on like it didn’t happen. Instead they gave us something surprisingly tasteful and undeniably affecting.
I knew Boseman hadn’t been replaced going in, but I was still curious to see how Marvel would balance the kind of typically tasteless expanded universe-pimping that usually bloats its films with a somber tribute to a beloved actor. Would Clark Gregg show up in a black SUV in the middle of funeral talking into an earpiece about some nonsense tie-in to Marvel TV show I didn’t watch? Thankfully, no.
For the most part, Wakanda Forever is one of the most tasteful movies Marvel has ever released. Partly because it avoids the obvious, most sacrilegious pitfalls, but also because of the exuberant production design. It’s full of visually impressive scenes that never feel utilitarian and that look better than just about anything Marvel has done before. Yet for as beautiful as it looked, it’s hard to shake the feeling that the story wasn’t worth an entire movie. The central conflict feels like something that could be resolved with one conversation, and eventually (after about two hours of screen time), it is. Wakanda Forever certainly isn’t crass but it’s not exactly a triumph, never quite doing justice to all the brilliant production design and inspired acting (Winston Duke, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong’o — they’re all killing it).
The story takes place in the aftermath of the death of T’Challa (Bosman) who was not only a man, but the Black Panther, champion of Wakanda. T’Challa’s mother, Ramonda (Angela Bassett) is ruling Wakanda now, but she has yet to crown a new Black Panther. Since Wakanda is the Earth’s only known source of the magic metal Vibranium, the lack of a champion is making them appear weaker, and the world’s other nations, like the US and France for some reason, can barely keep their holsters in their pants over it. (I imagine picking on France is an easy sell to investors, and so France gets to be the only other acknowledged example of a colonial power here).
Queen Ramonda gives the other superpowers a verbal stiff arm at the UN, and so they go off searching for alternate sources of Vibranium. Just when it seems like the Americans have found it underneath the ocean, their CIA/Navy SEAL mining vessel gets attacked by some underwater blue dudes, who not only seem to possess Aquaman-like capabilities (which can’t be acknowledged as such without copyright infringement), but also the power of mind control. The sailors dive off the decks of their ships like lemmings, apparently to save them from getting their asses kicked anyway by an obviously technologically superior force.
The blue dudes turn out to be the Talokan, a previously unknown civilization of indigenous pre-Columbian Mesoamericans (think Aztec/Mayan styling) who also have Vibranium. Basically the underwater Wakanda. The leader of the Talokan turns out to be Namor, played by Tenoch Huerta, who’s really having fun with it in another notably great performance. Namor, who has even more powers than the rank-and-file Talokanians for reasons both asinine and too complicated to explain, reveals himself to Ramonda and T’Challa’s scientist sister, Shuri (Letitia Wright), simultaneously proposing an alliance and demanding that the Wakandans deliver to him the scientist responsible for creating the Vibranium-detecting machine.
That scientist isn’t actually a Wakandan, but a precocious MIT student named Riri (Dominique Thorn), whom the Wakandans soon discover and take back to Wakanda (she’s forced into the annoying “superhero fanboy” role these movies always seem to require these days). This is the entire source of the conflict between the kingdoms of Wakanda and Talokan, a conflict that takes up the bulk of this nearly three-hour movie: Talokan is angry at having been exposed to the Earth colonizers and blames Wakanda for it. Martin Freeman (Everett K. Ross) and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss (Valentina Fontaine) are the respective good cop/bad cop figures of the CIA who get mixed up in there; not quite as out of place and sitcommy as Clark Gregg has been in past Marvel movies, but certainly in the same vein.
The Talokanians are a lot of fun, and Namor (who can fly with shoes made of flying fish!) makes for a solid Killmonger 2.0. And yet it seems obvious that this uncolonized Magic Africa and the underwater Magic Mesoamerica are destined to become allies. The movie sort of flails at excuses for why these two nations need to fight, and the fight scenes themselves are visually exciting and much more compelling to look at than anything Marvel has done in at least five or six movies, but they never quite make us forget the obvious. These guys should probably just team up already, why aren’t they teaming up??
To some extent, Wakanda Forever just does a much more visually appealing version of what Black Adam did: present an obvious conflict between superpowered indigenous peoples and predatorial colonizers, and then spend almost an entire movie doing wilder and wilder mental gymnastics to justify why the big baddy is someone else. Black Adam goes to hell to fight Sabbac, the Wakandans go underwater to fight Namor. At least Black Panther and the X-Men gave us a compelling Martin vs. Malcolm dynamic (reductive and somewhat unfair to the actual Malcolm but at least compelling), Wakanda Forever and Black Adam just feel like they’re avoiding the obvious.
What is stopping these movies from making the actual CIA and the military-industrial complex the actual villain? (I mean I could speculate here, but I’ll keep the question rhetorical in the context of an arts review). This is precisely the kind of conflict superhero narratives have traditionally been great at exploring (see: The Boys, Watchmen) so seeing them delay it feels at best like an unsatisfying sacrifice to an episodic structure, and at worst like conceptual cowardice.
Either they’re afraid of having Americans be the villains or they’re saving it for later and wasting our time with a three-hour movie that merely postpones it. Wakanda Forever does a great job memorializing Chadwick Boseman but a poor job justifying its own existence as a narrative.

More tributes to Takeoff have continued to appear online from the late Atlanta rapper’s friends and collaborators, even two weeks after his death. After his funeral was held at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta Friday (November 11), Cardi B and Quavo both posted touching eulogies on Instagram fondly remembering him. Today, another longtime collaborator who saw Takeoff as family since their connected careers took off in parallel to each other posted his own thoughts.
Murda Beatz, the Canadian producer who crafted beats for Migos early on in their rise to stardom and remained one of their most prolific partnerships, paid his respects to Takeoff with a lengthy post, saying, “Without Takeoff, There Would Be No Murda Beatz.”
“I Met You Almost 10 Years Ago, You And The Gang Always Made Me Feel Like I Was Their Blood Brother Since We Met,” he wrote. “Your Family, Your Momma, Your Brother Lingo, Your Uncle Quavo, Your Grandma, Everybody Treated Me Like I Was Part Of The Family. You And The Gang Really Adopted Me And Put Me Under Your Wing. I Stood Beside Yall And I Was Lucky Enough To Watch You Become One Of The Best Rappers Of Our Generation. My Brother Helped Push Trap Music To The Global Stage. We Took Mixtape Rap To The Top Of The Charts And Made It Mainstream. I’m So Proud To Call You My Brother And I’m So Grateful That I Met You Along This Journey Called Life. We Are The Same Age And It Breaks My Heart We Cant Grow Old Together Like We All Supposed To. Ima Miss You Bro This Shit Never Gonna Stop The Gang Gonna Keep Going Hard For You Bro I Promise On My Soul I’m Sorry This Happened To You Sending All My Love To You, Your Family And The Gang 4L.”

While we await the recently confirmed new music from The xx, its individual members aren’t wasting any time with their solo endeavors. Following Oliver Sim’s Hideous Bastard album released earlier this year and Jamie xx’s latest single “Kill Dem,” singer Romy Madley Croft has just put out her second ever solo track. Romy’s “Strong” is a collaboration with surging producer Fred Again.., which she calls,”emotional music to dance to” and it serves as their ode to the club as a place of healing and community.
“Strong” is the third collaboration between Romy and Fred Again.. following his track “Lights Out” and her 2020 debut single, “Lifetime,” but this one hits with a different palpable force. Inspired by Ibiza house and trance, Romy’s vocals soar in familiar fashion, but they’re paired with beats that have that finger-on-the-pulse feeling of Fred Again..’s world-smashing electronica. Romy sings about overcoming grief and it feels triumphant set to Fred’s production.
If there’s a symbiotic nature to “Strong,” that pierces through, it’s because Romy says she feels exactly that in working with Fred Again.. “My friendship with Fred means a lot to me, our closeness helps me to feel safe to be honest and vulnerable lyrically and we definitely connect over our love of songwriting and emotions in dance music,” she said in a statement. “It’s amazing and inspiring seeing and hearing what Fred is doing in his solo work and I’m very excited to be releasing this song together.”
The video for “Strong” was directed by Romy’s wife, filmmaker and photographer Vic Lentaigne. Watch and listen above.
As Sylvester Stallone continues to make the interview rounds to promote his new series, Tulsa King, the iconic action star has been getting candid about the days when he and Arnold Schwarzenegger would go toe-to-toe at the box office. While the two are close pals now, Stallone recently admitted that the musclebound stars genuinely hated each other during the height of their careers.
“We couldn’t stand to be in the same galaxy together for a while. We truly, truly loathed each other,” Stallone recently revealed to Insider while expanding on the anecdote about how Schwarzenegger tricked him into starring in Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.
The Rocky star took things even further while talking to Forbes about the fierce competitiveness between the two that ultimately led to a friendship built on being Hollywood titans:
“We really disliked each other immensely because we were… this may sound a little vain, but I think we were pioneering a kind of genre at that time and it hasn’t been seen since really,” Stallone told me via Zoom Thursday while promoting his new series Tulsa King, which premieres on Paramount+ Sunday. “So the competition, because it’s his nature, he is very competitive and so am I… and I just thought it actually helped, but off-screen we were still competitive and that was not a healthy thing at all, but we’ve become really good friends.”
After spending two decades hating each other, you’re now more likely to see Stallone and Schwarzenegger showing up to each other’s red carpet premieres and exchanging hugs that would crush mere mortals. It’s like a thunderclap from the Gods when they slap each other’s backs. Good for them.
Rihanna has been busy generating headlines this fall — confirming she will perform the Super Bowl LVII halftime show, contributing two ballads to the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, and controversially selecting Johnny Depp to appear in her Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 show. But Rihanna is constantly resetting the bar, and she hit the headline jackpot by merely mentioning Beyoncé today (November 14).
The Fenty mogul was asked by E! Newsto name her “dream model” for a future Savage X Fenty show. “Beyoncé,” Rihanna said. “I mean, Beyoncé’s got body. That would just trump everything for me.”
Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 premiered on Amazon Prime Video last Wednesday (November 9). The featured models included Abbott Elementary‘s Sheryl Lee Ralph, Wakanda Forever‘s Winston Duke, Cara Delevingne, Lilly Singh, Simu Liu, Taraji P. Henson, Taylour Paige, and more. There’s an even more ambitious goal amongst Rihanna’s team than getting Beyoncé for a future installment.
“It would not surprise me if we had Vol. 7 on the moon,” director Adam Blackstone said, per Billboard. “If anyone can do it, it’s our Rihanna.”
Fans will likely take Rihanna’s mention of Beyoncé and run with it. (And who could blame them?) In the same vein, the natural assumption was that Rihanna’s Super Bowl announcement and return to music meant that her first album since 2016’s ANTI was on the way. Not so fast.
Nearly six months ago, word circulated that Vladimir Putin’s inner circle was maneuvering to find a successor amid concerns over his Ukraine war. Those concerns, if true, apparently fell by the wayside, and perhaps that can be best explained by the fact that Putin punishes any Russian who dares to speak against him. A few months ago, local Russian lawmakers were summoned by police, fined, and removed from office after they plotted to overthrow the president for damaging the Russian economy with his current military invasion. Perhaps that’s also why we’re seeing some apparent backtracking after a key Putin ally allegedly called for the autocrat to be ousted.
As the New York Times relays, Aleksandr Dugin (whose own daughter perished earlier this year in a car bombing) now sees this war as an embarrassment. Newsweek points out that Dugin’s unofficial position as “Putin’s brain” makes this criticism notable, and here’s how the NYT sums up Dugin’s Telegram-posted apparent reference to Putin and his subsequent denial:
The post did not name Mr. Putin directly, but made reference to a study of myths and religions that included the African tale of Kings of the Rain, slain for failing to make it rain amid a drought. Mr. Dugin later wrote on his page on Vkontakte, the Russian equivalent of Facebook, that Western analysts were falsely portraying him as having turned on Mr. Putin.
That quick turnaround was to be expected whether or not Dugin specifically intended to criticize Putin with this Kings of the Rain warning. After all, Putin has (allegedly) left a trail of dead journalists in his wake and silenced his rivals, including Alexei Nalvany, who will probably never emerge from prison again after spending nearly a decade behind bars. In the meantime, Russian troops are continuing to abandon heavy artillery (including tanks) in Ukraine, basically handing victories to Zelensky’s forces. Despite a massive draft, Russia is still losing the numbers game with boots on the ground, so it seems like a matter of time before Putin really threatens to go nuclear in a desperate effort to win his war.
Eladio Carrión‘s highly-anticipated sequel to his Sen2 Kbrn album is coming soon. On Friday (November 11), the Puerto Rican rapper revealed the release date and the tracklist for the second installment in the series.
Carrión has proven himself to be one of the top rappers in Latin music. He can work his knockout flow around any genre of music, including reggaeton and trap music. Last year, he experimented with the New York drill sound in the “Tata” remix featuring Bobby Shmurda, Daddy Yankee, and J Balvin. In May, he embraced elements of electronica music in “Sin Frenos” alongside Argentine acts Bizarrap and Duki.
In July 2021, Carrión released his Sen2 Kbrn Vol. 1 album where he let his rap flow run wild. The LP included the hits like “Problema” and “Paz Mental.” It also featured one of his signature freestyles under the title “Sauce Boy Freestyle 4.”
On Instagram, Carrión shared that Sen2 Kbrn Vol. 2 will be released this Friday, November 18. This second album will include 10 new tracks. The LP will follow last year’s Sauce Boyz 2 album that was released in December 2021.
Over the course of this journey, we’ve formed many opinions on the Taco Bell menu. But we’ve never stopped to check in on what the masses are buzzing about. Taco Bell’s menu changes multiple times per year (they’ve dropped and brought back Nacho Fries more times than we can count, and they’re planning to bring them back again this month) so keeping up with it is a near-impossible task. So we looked to Ranker to find out what people are currently digging into when hitting the Bell. We did this three years ago and, to no surprise, the current ranking on Ranker has shifted a lot.
Below, we’re listing the 10 best Taco Bell menu items according to the masses, plus our take on each. Did the masses get it right or are there major menu additions that people are sleeping on? Let’s dive in!
10. Crunchy Taco
Taco Bell
Our Thoughts:
The masses got this one wrong! Tenth? How? Why?! Look, we get it, the Crunchy Taco isn’t the most exciting Taco Bell option out there, it’s frustratingly simple: fairly seasoned ground beef, a crunchy corn shell, some shredded lettuce, and a handful of cheddar cheese that never melts, even if you nuke it. But simplicity is its strength. This is the sort of menu item you add to your meal no matter what you’re ordering, it’s the quintessential Taco Bell menu choice.
It is to Taco Bell what fries are to McDonald’s!
As we mentioned in the lede, Taco Bell is stoner food, but the Crunchy Taco is probably the only item on the menu that you can eat stone-cold sober and still enjoy. It pairs well with each of Taco Bell’s sauce packets but truly doesn’t need any additional ingredients to taste great.
The Bottom Line:
It should be number 1. Honestly, this is Taco Bell’s single best menu item, it has no faults.
9. Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch
Taco Bell
Our Thoughts:
Snagging the ninth spot amongst the masses feels pretty fair, though if it were up to us this would be a bit higher in the ranking. The strength of this dish is that quintuple dose of cheese melding the flour tortilla to the shell. You get mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and cheddar, forming a range of flavors that are alternately salty, nutty, and sharp, plus a dose of that iconic Doritos’ Nacho Cheese via the crunchy shell. Combine that with some spicy ranch sauce, and Taco Bell’s ground beef and you get a cheesy mouthful of flavors with a spicy kick of heat at the aftertaste.
Truly one of Taco Bell’s best creations.
The Bottom Line:
9th feels a bit too low in our book but it’s hard to be mad at this one. The Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch is a must-order if you’ve never had it.
8. Soft Taco
Taco Bell
Our Thoughts:
Again, this one is ranked way too low. It’s just a soft-shell version of the crunchy taco, so a lot of what makes the crunchy taco great is present here as well. That simple combination of ground beef, lettuce, and shredder cheddar never gets old and its lack of ingredients makes it easier to focus in on the savory meaty flavors of the ground beef while coming across as a lot more filling and satisfying than its crunchy cousin.
Simply add your favorite hot sauce (we suggest asking for the hot red sauce they have under the counter rather than a packet) and you have a near-perfect fast-food taco.
The Bottom Line:
It shouldn’t be ranked number 1 but this is way too low. The masses are sleeping on the simplicity of soft and crunchy tacos.
7. Beefy Five-Layer Burrito
Taco Bell
Our Thoughts:
For a while, the Beefy Five-Layer Burrito has been a fan-favorite at Taco Bell and it’s easy to see why. The strength is in the simplicity, it’s just a burrito loaded with beef, beans, sour cream, and shredded cheddar with a layer of nacho cheese sauce smeared across the tortilla.
It’s hard to hate that, but Taco Bell has since dropped a lot of burritos that are a bit more interesting than this, including the Spicy Double Steak Grilled Cheese, The Beefy Melt Burrito, and later this month, the 7-Layer Nacho Fries burrito. So how do we make the ‘ol Beefy Five-Layer delicious? Simply ditch the beans (Taco Bell’s beans are horrible) and order it grilled.
That’ll give you more room for beef, and a crunchy texture that’ll provide a better mouthfeel.
The Bottom Line:
The Beefy Five-Layer is good but with a few tweaks you can easily make it something great.
6. Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco
Taco Bell
Our Thoughts:
The masses got it wrong again, not only is the Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos ranked way too high, it doesn’t even deserve to be in the top 10 of Taco Bell menu items. This taco is a great idea, combining the flavors of Taco Bell with Doritos is the sort of genius move that is born in college dorms but, like many ideas that are formed while heavily stoned, just because they seem good, doesn’t mean they actually translate. The Doritos Locos Taco is frustratingly redundant. Doritos has 14 different flavors, so why did Taco Bell choose Nacho Cheese over something that could’ve added some contrast to the mix of ground beef and cheddar cheese, like I don’t know, Cool Ranch or Salsa Verde?
By going with Nacho Cheese for the shell, Taco Bell is doubling down on the cheesy and salty flavor profile. The cheddar and beef are already cheesy and salty, adding a shell with the same qualities makes this taste like too much of a good thing. There is no balance. There is a form of this taco that works, and it’s on this list, but the Doritos Locos stock taco, is straight-up garbage.
The Bottom Line:
Taco Bell’s most overrated taco ever. It doesn’t even deserve to be on this list. The masses must be stoned.
5. Chalupa Supreme
Taco Bell
Our Thoughts:
I’m not mad at this one, Taco Bell’s Chalupa Supreme is one of Taco Bell’s best chalupas (the Chipotle Cheddar Chalupa is slightly better, but it’s absent from this list) on the menu. It takes that classic Taco Bell salty beefy cheesy flavor combination and adds some sour cream for a bit of tang, tomato for a burst of freshness, and a sweet chalupa wrap.
A touch of spice would go a long way into making this a better dish, so we suggest you substitute that sour cream for chipotle sauce, but as is, it’s not bad.
The Bottom Line:
The classic Taco Bell flavors with a touch of sweetness at the aftertaste.
4. Quesarito
Taco Bell
Our Thoughts:
Remember what I said about Taco Bell being a stoner’s paradise?
Dishes like the Quesarito prove that. Like its name suggests, this combines everything great about a burrito with a quesadilla, it’s the sort of menu item that exists for indecisive people who can’t choose between the two. Why not have both in one? The burrito build includes ground beef, rice, and sour cream, wrapped in a flour tortilla and then wrapped again in another tortilla smeared with melted cheddar cheese and nacho cheese sauce.
It’s beefy, cheesy, salty, and has a whole lot of texture. The idea of a burrito without beans sounds, well, like not a burrito, but considering Taco Bell’s beans are so terrible, this works surprisingly well. Don’t be tempted to add the beans.
The Bottom Line:
One of Taco Bell’s finest dishes. Does it deserve the number 4 spot? Definitely, if anything this should be ranked even higher.
3. Chicken Quesadilla
Taco Bell
Our Thoughts:
This is ranked way too high, in fact, it shouldn’t even be on the list. Taco Bell’s chicken is awful, it’s dry, chewy, and almost completely flavorless. It’s more texture than anything else, and that texture isn’t anything good. The strength of this dish is everything else in it, the creamy jalapeno sauce is vegetal, spicy, and delicious, and the three-cheese blend combines cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella — it’s satisfyingly cheesy with a grilled flour tortilla that is crispy and has a whole lot of texture. But that chicken? Skip it. You’ll be saving a dollar and saving room in your stomach to just pick up a crunchy taco on the side.
The Bottom Line:
I don’t know how anything with Taco Bell’s chicken is appealing to the masses. Have ya’ll ever had chicken?
2. Cheesy Gordita Crunch
Taco Bell
Our Thoughts:
How do you make Taco Bell’s already delicious crunchy taco even more satisfying? It’s simple, just wrap it in another tortilla with melted cheese melding it together. You get a double dose of cheese here, shredded cheddar on top of the taco, with the three-cheese blend between the crunchy shell and gordita wrap. In addition to that medley of cheesy flavors you’ve got spicy ranch, lettuce, and ground beef, making each bite a mix of complex cheese, and savory beef, with a spicy tangy finish.
But the Cheesy Gordita Crunch can easily be improved by ordering the Doritos Locos version. That’ll give you a triple dose of cheese with the gordita shell adding a sweet component to counterbalance the sometimes overwhelming nacho cheese shell. This is the balance of flavors that the Doritos Locos desperately needed.
The Bottom Line:
Being ranked as the second-best Taco Bell menu item is way too high for this dish, but we won’t deny that this deserves a spot in the top ten.
1. Crunch Wrap Supreme
Taco Bell
Our Thoughts:
While the Crunch Wrap Supreme wouldn’t be my number one choice, it feels fitting that this is the favorite of the masses. The Crunchwrap is Taco Bell’s invention, it’s not a spin on a famous Mexican dish, it’s not a combination of famous flavors like the Doritos Locos Taco or a hybrid like the Quesarito, it exists as a pure invention out of the mind of Taco Bell’s flavor scientists.
It consists of a layer of savory beef and salty nacho cheese sauce, a thin layer of fried corn tortilla, and a fresh medley of veggies on top all wrapped in a giant warm grilled tortilla. Each bite is crunchy, salty, savory, fresh, and beautifully textural, it’s hard to hate this, it’s like a greatest hits collection of Taco Bell flavors.
Order a side of red sauce and dip each bite for a spicy lift that makes this already delicious dish even more elevated.
The Bottom Line:
The masses may have got a lot wrong, but giving the Crunchwrap Supreme the number 1 spot feels fitting. If somehow you’ve never had Taco Bell, start here, it’s a reflection of what makes the Bell so beloved.
