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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a separate saucepan over medium heat, warm the refried beans and stir in the taco seasoning until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve immediately, allowing your guests to add extra toppings to their liking.
