Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Refried beans
- 1 cup Queso fresco
- 2 cups Lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Salsa verde
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully fry each corn tortilla one at a time until crispy and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
While the tortillas cool, thinly slice the lettuce, dice the tomato, and slice the avocado. Crumble the queso fresco into a small bowl.
In a separate pan, warm the refried beans over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot and easily spreadable.
Lay each fried tortilla flat and evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans over each one.
Top the beans with a layer of sliced lettuce, followed by tomato, and sliced avocado.
Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco generously over the top of each chalupa.
Drizzle sour cream and salsa verde over the top of the assembled chalupas.
Season the chalupas with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately while the chalupas are still slightly warm and crispy.
