Soft chalupa
This is actually a menu option at one of my favorite Mexican places. I
don't really care for the deep fried ones as they are so greasy but these are divine. The problem? Mine are not nearly as good at home. Pretty sure the cause is the tortillas. He gets them from his dad who makes them fresh. I have been buying Surita which are good but not as good as his. :( And I don't want to try buying them from him as they won't be as fresh. I did try the Tortillaland fresh ones prior. They were fine but I don't remember them being superior or anything. *sigh* I might also be doing something wrong with my cooking/heating method. Twice, it appeared to be sort of dry fried. Then once when he (the owner) seemed to be the only one working and busier than usual, it wasn't quite as good. The tortilla was soft. I get mine with beans only. No meat. So in a nutshell it is just the tortilla, beans, lettuce and tomato. Which is really about the same thing I was making at home to begin with except that I was nuking the tortilla. Does anyone know how to make a soft chalupa? Yeah, I can ask Alfredo. And I probably will. But it makes for quick, cheap eats! |

I know they are sold here now because they finally made it on the menu of the neighborhood Mexican restaurant we eat at most, but I didn't order it. Google Image "chalupa recipe" and I'm sure you'll find a website that works for you. Swagbucks obviously can't help you with that. -- A kitchen without a cook is just a room. |

And I probably will. But it makes for quick, cheap eats! Julie, It's not done in the microwave. Instead, you heat a cast iron (preferred) pan and drop the tortilla in there for about 30 seconds, then flip then fix. You can't use a microwave for this one. Carol -- |

But it makes for quick, cheap eats! As we should all know by now, chalupa is the Czech word for "cottage." (Also Polish and Ukrainian) And, unless you are making something like a tent, there is no way to make a soft cottage. |

I've only eaten chalupa once and it was a long time ago. Chalupas look like a mini version of a taco to me. http://www.macheesmo.com/2010/04/chalupas/ I'm sure I googled "baked soft chalupa" and came up with recipes. Here's one http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/fo...Chicken-109433 Around here, tortillas are sold in what my family calls "baby size" which is 4 or 5 inches across. I use them for everything, but I imagine their main function is as a chalupa shell. Chalupa means boat. If they are crispy shells, they will serve as a boat. You need to find a picture to post so I know what the heck you're talking about. -- A kitchen without a cook is just a room |

Apparently the word means a variety of things. Here, it is usually a fried flour tortilla, folded in half and filled with what you would put in a taco. But the soft one isn't fried. |

Taco Bell commercials is about the only place I've ever seen a chalupa. The local Tex-Mex restaurants don't have them on the menu. However: take a gander at this: http://www.macheesmo.com/2010/04/chalupas/ Step by step and pretty much how to quick fry then remove the tortilla from the oil and it will still be puffy, soft and probably flexible.

No. As I said repeatedly, these are flour tortillas. I know what gorditas are. I have made them. |

Not at all like that. These use a flour tortilla. No corn. I can't eat corn any more. |
