Crunchwrap Super-Supreme: SparkRecipes Un-Chained Recipe Contest Finalist

This recipe was a finalist in the SparkPeople Un-Chained Recipe Contest!

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!Submitted by: THENEXTJESS

I used groud turkey instead ( I'm only allowed red meat two times a month. I honestly can not taste the difference. I used redduced sodium chips and homemade chili powder to reduce the sodium, and cut back on the olives (same reason). I had to make do to my and my husband diet restrictions. - 10/1/07
