Pete Davidson, star of SNL, promoted Taco Bell breakfast around a year ago. My friends and I’s favorite fast-food restaurant is Taco Bell and when I saw this commercial, I knew I had to try the breakfast crunchwrap since the original is my favorite menu item.

Since my mom’s favorite breakfast is from McDonalds, I convinced her that she needed to try the new breakfast menu at Taco Bell. After a trip to the restaurant, we were hooked. Taco Bell breakfast crunchwrap became a weekly tradition. The soft eggs, crunchy hash brown and greasy bacon come together nicely wrapped in a toasted tortilla, with an added special sauce to compliment it all.

But we all know that we can do better than fast food. I knew that I could prove myself and conquer the Taco Bell breakfast and make it myself. So I did just that, and it turned out great. I cooked for myself, my girlfriend and all of her roommates; everyone was amazed at how good it was. I’ve detailed the recipe below. If you’re a Taco Bell fan, try it out!
