Chalupa shells

  • Number of Servings: 1
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups unbleached flour3 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon vegetable shortening1 cup milkOil for deep fat frying
Directions
To make the chalupa shell, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add shortening and milk. Shape dough into a long roll and divide equally into 6 balls. Pat each ball out into a circle approx. 5-inches in diameter (make the circles thinner in the middle so there will be a depression to hold the toppings).

Fry each circle in hot oil until they are puffed and golden brown on both sides (turn once). Drain on absorbent paper towels.

Add your choice of ground beef, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, peppers, and cheese. You may also add salsa, sliced black olives, sour cream, or guacamole.

Makes 6 very large chalupas.
