- ¾ cup All-purpose flour
- ½ TBSP baking powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ TBSP Butter melted
- ⅓ cup Milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Queso
- ½ cup Half and Half
- 4 oz Cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 oz American cheese chopped
- 1 clove Garlic minced
- 2 TBSP Scallions chopped
- 2 oz Tortilla chips
Filling
- 8 oz Ground beef
- ½ TBSP Taco seasoning or more if needed
- ½ cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup Romaine lettuce shredded
- ¼ cup Tomatoes chopped small
- 4 TBSP Sour cream
Margarita Mocktail
- 16 oz Sparkling water
- 4 oz Orange juice
- 1 TBSP Honey
- 2 TBSP Lime juice as needed to taste
- 2 wedges Lime for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a bowl, addtake flour, baking powder, salt, and butter. Mix them well. Now add milk and bring everything together and knead a soft dough. Cover it and keep it aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Once the dough is rested, divide it into equal balls. Take one dough ball;, roll it out to a 5-inch circle. Prick the rolled dough a few times with a fork.
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a pan on a medium heat. Gently slide the dough into hot oil. It should immediately float and puff. Let the dough fry for 30 seconds on the side.
- Use tongs to flip the dough over and gently fold the dough in half (like a taco shell).
- Hold the dough in that shape as it fries for 30 seconds. Roll the shell over to cook evenly. It should be done after about 2 minutes of frying.
- Remove the shell and let it drain on a paper towel. When it’s fried, it should hold its shell shape. Repeat with all the shells.
- Make the Queso: Mix the ingredients (except for the chips) in a saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally, until the cheese is melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and taco seasoning, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.
- Evenly distribute the beef onto the chalupa shells, and top with cheese, lettuce, and tomato.
- Mix together the ingredients for the margarita.
- Serve the chalupas with sour cream, queso and chips, and margarita.
