What is Chalupa?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A chalupa is a specialty dish of south-central Mexico. Traditional chalupas are small, thick, boat-shaped fried dough topped only with Salsa, cheese, and shredded lettuce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is made out of flour dough and a thicker kind of shell that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is almost like Indian fried bread which is topped with different toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My son is a huge fan of Taco Bell! He can eat Taco bell any day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t eat there frequently but I love some of their recipe ideas like this Crunchwrap<\/a> their quesadilla with creamy Jalapeno sauce<\/a>, and chalupas to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love to recreate restaurant style recipes at home. Infect, part of the reason I started my blog was to find healthier ways to eat my favorite foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big part of that is recreating my fave restaurant menu items at home, with a healthier twist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone at my home, especially my son, was craving for taco bell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are avoid outside food as much as possible and I try to make everything at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since my son was craving Chalupa, I made them home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guess what: I nailed it!<\/p>\n\n\n

I know, my shells are not as perfectly shaped as Taco Bell’s version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But hey, the tastes matters the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My family LOVED it so much and thoroughly enjoyed it. What else we need? Right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we can skip the drive-through, and whip out these at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My son asks for them regularly, and I love being able to say yes since they’re so easy and convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, Taco Bell makes great chalupas but in my opinion, this homemade version is far better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part is, you know exactly what goes into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make chalupas you need a handful of ingredients that you most likely have in your fridge and pantry.<\/p>\n\n\n

Chalupa Bread<\/span><\/strong> – What I loved the most about Chalupas is the bread itself. I mean, it’s just taste like donuts without the glaze. You can make them flat and round like tostada or fold and fry them like a taco that is totally up to you. They taste so much better when you make them yourself. Making the chalupa bread is super easy and only takes a few basic ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
