Beef Fajitas

I got this recipe from the Mayo Clinic website. I was looking for heart healthy high fiber foods for people with high blood pressure and colon problems. This is our family's favorite meal. Even the kids love it. Try adding fat-free refried beans, serve it on the side or on the fajita. Submitted by: MMORGENSON

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 love taco salad, but not the sodium, I use my own seasonings that are low in sodium and use turkey instead of beef, as well I use catalina dressing instead of ranch and mix it with salsa.
Great flavours!! - 4/26/10

Not too happy that I had to cook up a pound of hamburger to only use 4 ounces in the recipe. - 10/14/08
