In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the vegan butter using a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc shape about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin.
In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully fry each dough disc for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed up. Remove and let drain on paper towels.
In a small saucepan, combine the canned black beans (drained and rinsed), cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, mashing the beans slightly with a spoon.
To assemble the chalupas, spread a layer of the bean mixture over each fried chalupa shell.
Top each with a generous dollop of vegan sour cream, a scoop of pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, guacamole, and vegan cheese shreds.
Serve the Vegan Chalupa Supreme immediately, enjoying the symphony of flavors and textures.
