Crunchwrap Supreme vs Burrito Supreme: Price & Calories

The two most-loved handhelds on the Taco Bell menu share a name, a protein and most of their fillings — and they are not the same food. The Crunchwrap Supreme is a griddle-folded hexagon with a crunchy tostada shell inside; the Burrito Supreme is a rolled flour tortilla with refried beans and red sauce. The Crunchwrap costs about a dollar more and carries about 140 more calories than the beef Burrito Supreme — and the chicken and steak Burrito Supremes beat both on protein per calorie.

The numbers, side by side

Prices are sampled medians (the beef Burrito Supreme ranges $4.79–$5.99; the Crunchwrap $6.49–$6.89) — Taco Bell publishes no national price list, so your store may charge more or less. No sampled price is published for the chicken or steak Burrito Supreme, so those cells stay blank rather than estimated. One conflict to note: a third-party menu site lists the Crunchwrap Supreme at 510 calories and 16g of protein; the official panel used here is 530 calories and 15g.

What is actually different

The Burrito Supreme is, in Taco Bell's own description, "a flour tortilla filled with seasoned beef, refried beans, diced tomatoes and onions, lettuce, red sauce, reduced-fat sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese" — rolled, soft, and bean-led. The Crunchwrap Supreme swaps the beans and red sauce for nacho cheese sauce and a crunchy tostada shell, then griddles the whole thing into a hexagon. Same seasoned beef, same lettuce and tomato, same sour cream — but the Crunchwrap's tostada and cheese sauce add the crunch and the extra 73g of carbs (versus 51g in the beef Burrito Supreme) and 6g of fat (20g versus 14g). Allergens are the same family for both: milk, soy and wheat (the chicken and steak Burrito Supremes drop the soy).

Which one should you order

For protein per calorie, the chicken and steak Burrito Supremes win outright: 19g of protein at 370–380 calories, against the Crunchwrap's 15g at 530. For the most food per dollar, the beef Burrito Supreme at $5.69 is the cheapest way into the Supreme build. The Crunchwrap earns its dollar premium only if you want the crunch — the tostada shell is the whole point of it, and nothing else on the menu reproduces that texture. If you are choosing between them for a full meal, total either one with a drink and a side in the nutrition calculator before you decide: both carry over 1,100mg of sodium, more than half a day's reference intake before anything else is counted.

About this guide's data

Every figure in this guide comes from one dataset: sampled Taco Bell prices and published nutrition, compiled and verified in October 2026 (prices are re-checked monthly, and every data page carries its verification stamp). Rankings state their rule in the open and are computed from those rows — never voted on, never estimated. Where a value is missing it is shown as missing, and each named item links to its own page, where the full label, allergen record and sampled price range can be checked. Prices vary by location; nutrition values are the published figures for the standard build.
