I haven't tried this recipe for homemade chalupas (like from Taco Bell), but I have it in my bookmarks to try.

And there's this poptart recipe that I'd like to try too.

Zucchini "Fruit Snacks"

Weird and AWESOME! Really, it's unbelievable! Try it. It's great with the big overgrown zukes too!

8 1/2 Cups zucchini cut into 1 " pieces
2 cups sugar
3 cups water
2 packets of fruit flavored Kool Aid

Boil gently together for 25 minutes, strain & drain (you can save the liquid for another batch but it will need another packet of kool aid added for extra flavor boost.) Don't overcook em.

put the little chunks on a dehydrator for 12-14 hrs at 125F

peel em off the tray and toss them with a little fine sugar or half powdered sugar and cornstarch to chill the stickiness if you want... YUM!

Just wanted to say I tried this and my 8yr old likes them; it is great because he doesn't know they are healthier
