Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Vegetable shortening
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 15 ounces Refried beans
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sliced black olives
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the vegetable shortening and blend it using your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the warm water a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together and is smooth. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a 5-inch round disc using a rolling pin.
In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry each dough disc until golden brown and puffed, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
In a separate saucepan over medium heat, warm the refried beans and stir in the taco seasoning until heated through, about 5 minutes.
To assemble the chalupas, spread a layer of refried beans over each fried flatbread. Top with sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately, allowing your guests to add extra toppings to their liking.
