- 2. Chalupas (My Way) Tia Rosa FlATBREAD 10inch tortilla size; 2 per hungry person. you'll find this at Ralph's in my area. Fry in large skillet of hot veg. oil; bending with metal tongs after 1 min. to golden, hold taco bend and flip to finish other side of homemade shell. Don't wait too long or you can't bend swollen shell.
- 3. Drain and cool down cooked shells on paper toweling. Set aside. Assemble the Chalupas. Spread refried beans lightly within each shell...then start filling with condiments listed below it. If you add the cooked Chalupa meat after the tomatoes; it helps hold ingredients within the shell for eating it neater!
- 4. Serve with the meat warmed up, sprinkling some of the suggested cheese across the top of each one; or use favorite shredded or mexican crumble choice;like cojita!
ACORN SQUASH WONDER TACOS/CHALUPAS
This is one of those recipes where you'll cross your eyes in pleasure after tasting. Great for vegetarian meat substitute or hiding veggies from your kids. They do not taste like squash. If you don't have cotija cheese, you can substitute Parmesan. But cotija marries well with cumin. Serve with refried beans for extra yum.
