Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the flour tortillas, one at a time, and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the tortillas and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Chalupa

    Spread a layer of refried beans over each crispy tortilla. Next, add a layer of shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes on top of the beans.

  3. 3

    Top with Guacamole

    Finally, add a generous spoonful of guacamole on each chalupa. Season with salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the tortillas are still crispy. Enjoy your delicious chalupas!
