Chicken Chalupas
Prep
Time: 15 Cook Time: 10

Ingredients
- corn tortillas
- refried beans
- cooked chicken
- shredded cheese
- Cotija cheese
- Pico de Gallo
- Shredded Lettuce
- Cooking oil
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
Directions
- If you insist on making your own shells, that is fine. It is not difficult - fry up some corn
tortillas. It's actually easier to bake them on a cookie sheet with a bit
of oil brushed on them, but for convenience - I buy these pre-fried and in
a stacked plastic wrapped package.
- Season up
your cooked chicken by adding some chili powder, cumin, garlic powder,
onion powder. If you want to get all fancy…you can take some dried chiles,
soak them after bringing to a boil, and essentially sort of making your
own enchilada sauce.
- Layer the beans, chicken, lettuce, tomato, red onion, cilantro, and cheese and Pico. Eat as many as you like.

Can just never get enough of Mexican food. I swear I must be part Hispanic. The crunchy, crispy lettuce topped with spicy salsa - coupled with the creamy refried beans and shattering tortilla is like heaven for your mouth.
