Instructions
Making Chalupa Dough
- First mix all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) together.
- Then Add in oil and mix it in the dough.
- Knead the dough using milk. Add 3/4 cup milk in one go. Add the remaining 1/4 cup as required.
- If you need a little more liquid to knead the dough, you can use water.
- Keep kneading till it all comes together and the dough feels soft
Making chalupa Shells or disc
- Cut it into 8 equal parts.
- Then roll each part between both palms to make a ball. Roll out each ball using a rolling pin into a 7-8 inch (diameter) disc.
- Punch some holes with a fork. This will ensure that the chalupa does not puff a lot while frying.
- Oil should not be more than 2 inches deep. Heat oil over medium flame.
- When the oil is ready, slowly slide the rolled-out disc into the oil.
- The disc will rise up on the oil and will puff up slightly.
- With a pair of tongs, pick up the disc and flip it to the other side.
- Immediately, pinch up a side of the disc with tongs and gently fold it in half. Cook this half side for 30 seconds.
- Flip and cook the other half for another 1 minute till both sides are golden and crunchy.
Serving
- To serve chalupas place a piece of fried bread on a plate and top it with the refried beans, guacamole, pica de Gallo, chopped lettuce, cheese, olives, sour cream, or any other desired toppings.
- Eat and enjoy!
