Ingredients

• 12 pieces Corn tortillas
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cups Fresh tomatoes, diced
• 1 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 1 piece Jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and minced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Low sodium chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 pieces Fresh avocado, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Salt-free Mexican seasoning
• 0.5 cup Queso fresco, crumbled (optional, low sodium)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry each corn tortilla for about 1 minute on each side until crisp and golden. Remove tortillas from the skillet and drain excess oil on a paper towel.

Step 2

2. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and jalapeño pepper, cooking for another minute.

Step 3

3. Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and stir in the salt-free Mexican seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the mixture to thicken slightly.

Step 4

4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, half the chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Toss well to combine.

Step 5

5. To assemble the chalupas, take each fried tortilla and evenly spread a layer of the tomato mixture. Top with a portion of the seasoned shredded chicken.

Step 6

6. Garnish each chalupa with slices of fresh avocado, a sprinkle of remaining cilantro, and a light sprinkle of queso fresco (if using).

Step 7

7. Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium, authentic Mexican chalupas!
