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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
While the tortillas cool, thinly slice the lettuce, dice the tomato, and slice the avocado. Crumble the queso fresco into a small bowl.
Step 3
In a separate pan, warm the refried beans over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot and easily spreadable.
Step 4
Lay each fried tortilla flat and evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans over each one.
Step 5
Top the beans with a layer of sliced lettuce, followed by tomato, and sliced avocado.
Step 6
Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco generously over the top of each chalupa.
Step 7
Drizzle sour cream and salsa verde over the top of the assembled chalupas.
Step 8
Season the chalupas with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Serve immediately while the chalupas are still slightly warm and crispy.
