Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Take corn tortillas and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.

Brush olive oil on both sides of each tortilla.

Bake the tortillas in the oven for about 8 minutes until golden brown.

Flip the tortillas and cook the second side until crispy.

Remove the tortillas from the oven and sprinkle a light coating of mozzarella cheese on top.

In a ceramic frying pan, place the rotisserie chicken and turn the heat to medium-low.

Add canned black beans, green chilies, chicken broth, garlic powder, ancho chili powder, ground cumin, oregano, fire roasted diced tomatoes, and a pinch of salt to the pan.

Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to place the chicken mixture onto the crispy tortillas, avoiding excess liquid to prevent sogginess.

Return the assembled chalupas to the oven for a few minutes until heated through.

Remove the chalupas from the oven and place them on a plate.

Top the chalupas with shredded green cabbage, chopped green onion, avocado chunks, and drizzle with apple cider vinegar dressing.

Sprinkle queso fresco on top before serving.
