I chose to re-make the Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell because Taco Bell used to be one of my favorite fast food restaurants. Also, it is still my boyfriend's favorite fast food chain and nearly every time he goes there, he will order a crunchwrap supreme.

The funny thing is that most Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes are fairly simple to make... so I knew that it would be fun, delicious, and not too challenging to re-make this item!

A quick low fat, high fiber, mealess treat!

If you're a crust lover, this pie is for you. Sometimes called a country tart or a galette, the pie crust is laid out flat on a baking sheet, with the filling piled in the center. The crust gets folded up and can be brushed with milk or eggs whites and sprinkled with sugar before baking. The result is more crispy, delicious pie crust in every bite.

Low fat, high protein.

Very juicy and appealing dish. Great for parties as it can be all prepped up to the time of cooking in advance.

An Italian favorite gets a below the border twist. Chef Meg made just a few tweaks before giving this one her seal of approval! She adds the spices early in cooking to help boost flavor and added a full pound of turkey for a more filling meal.

Adapted from the South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook (which called for goat cheese instead of feta), though I'll warn you that it's not quick at all. But it sure is tasty!

Vegetarian version with more eggs. Original recipe calls for chicken sausage mixed in with the eggs. I served turkey sausage on the side since one of my guests was a vegetarian.

Spice up your chicken burgers!

If you like sushi, you'll love this guacamole makeover! The creaminess of the avocado mellows the heat of the wasabi, and other familiar Asian flavors give this south of the border dip an Eastern twist.

This dish has all those great margarita flavors, plus shrimp, avocado & cilantro. It takes almost no time to make--shelling the shrimp is the only real work here.
