How to make Chalupa Recipe Taco Bell

Prepare time: 15 min

Cook time: 2 min

Total time: 17min

Serving: 1

Equipment:

Mixing bowl
Spatula
Cutting board
Knife
Spoon

Ingredients:

2 tortillas (soft tacos)
1/2 cup refried beans
2 beef chalupa ingredients
Hot sauce to taste

Toppings:

Directions:

Step 1: Warm the refried beans in a saucepan on low heat. Microwaving them usually makes them soggy, so I suggest you avoid it.

Step 2: While the beans are heating up, cut the chalupa ingredients in half and scoop out the insides with a spoon.

Step 3: Make one chalupa by placing a tortilla on the counter and layering it with refried beans, chalupa ingredients, lettuce, and hot sauce. Fold the tortilla in half so it will fold in half when you place it in the pan.

Step 4: Bake for 2 minutes at 400 degrees F on a medium heat setting (place oven rack in middle position). If you want to make two taco chalupas instead of one, add another layer of refried beans.

Step 5: Remove the chalupas from the oven and let them sit for one minute. Then, apply a dab of hot sauce on each taco chalupa. Enjoy!

Where to buy chalupa shells?

You can use small taco shells or make your own from wheat tortillas. I recommend corn tortillas because they are softer and easier to fold.

You can also find pre-made chalupa shells at many grocery stores. The price may vary by region, but I found a dozen bodies for $2.00 at my local grocery store.

How to make chalupas with pita bread?

If you don’t have chalupa shells, consider using pita bread. Start by cutting each pita in half and scooping out the contents.

Lay a small tortilla on a large piece of wax paper. Create your ingredients layer by spreading refried beans on the bottom half of the tortilla, adding a second layer of pita bread, filling it again with refried beans, and then covering it with your chalupa ingredients or any meat substitute (i.e., soy crumbles).
