chalupas

chalupas

Full disclosure: This may not be exactly like the Taco Bell chalupa you’re probably thinking of. Chalupas are a classic Mexican street food snack that are crispy, savory, and fun to eat. Usually chalupas are served like a tostada—a tortilla or masa fried in oil with a little bit of salsa roja (a tomato-based salsa pureed with chiles, white onion, and lime) or salsa verde—topped with shredded meat, onions, and cotija cheese. It’s that simple! But because we know you’re looking for the fluffy fry bread-like taco shell, we decided to create a version that was the best of both chalupa worlds
