I'm a HUGE fan of 7-layer dip, so when I seen the Taco Bell commercial for their 7-Layer Crunch Wrap, I just had to try it. Could this really taste like the real deal, all conveniently wrapped in one? How novel I thought.
Funny enough, when I went to order it, the lady tells (more like warns) me that it doesn't have any meat in it, as if I'm supposed to be turned off. I said that's fine and ordered the combo for $4.89, which included the wrap, a regular taco and a large drink.
As you know, most Taco Bell items are pretty much made up of the same ingredients, just named and assembled differently. Too funny.
The 7 layer Crunch Wrap is made of (some verbatim by Taco Bell) hearty beans, nacho cheese, guacamole, red sauce, red tortilla strips, sour cream, and chopped tomato, all layered inside a soft tortilla that's folded at all sides and browned slightly crisp on both sides.
It's basically a burrito shaped like a diskette. And that's exactly what it tasted like. With that, after a few bites it essentially became one homogenous "Taco Bell something". lol Unlike a dedicated 7-layer dip that you dip crunchy Tortilla chips into, nothing in this crunch wrap was crunchy... nothing!
None of the layered elements really stood on its own either. The worst part of it was that "Red Sauce". It just took the flavor in a whole nother direction. And those red tortilla strips just made it that much more mysterious if you will.
Portion-wise, this thing is HUGE. So big, I could only finish half of it, and had to save that Taco for later.
As a BURRITO, it's excellent. Don't get me wrong, it's tasty and very filling. It just really disappointed me that it had no resemblence in taste and texture to an traditional 7-layer dip.
Next time Taco Bell should just make a 7-Layer Dip exactly the way it is, and sell it in a clear plastic container (so you can see the layers), use shredded cheddar instead of melted Nacho cheese, include olives and sell it with CRISPY tortilla chips to dip in. I'd buy that.
Now I see they're promoting the Extreme Cheese & Beef Quesadilla. How creative.
I miss their Mucho Grande Nachos. That was EXCELLENT.

I do remember that it didn't impress me much. Kinda like an unsweetened andagi with a hunk of tako leg in the middle. Even the tako didn't have much taste as that's all it is. A hunk of tako. You'll still be chewing the tako after the bread part is long gone. 
But that's me. Gotta be something to it for it to be so popular. It just didn't do it for me.
