How to Make Taco Bell Chalupas at Home! | CJ's First Cooking Show| Blackstone Griddles

Go to the store to buy ingredients for chalupas.

Start with 2.25 cups of flour in a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the flour.

Add 0.25 cup of shortening to the mixture.

Add about 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

Mix the dry ingredients and shortening by hand until combined.

Gradually add milk until the dough reaches a smooth consistency.

Knead the dough on a cutting board until it is smooth.

Divide the dough into even-sized pieces and roll them into balls.

Use a tortilla press lined with a cut Ziploc bag to flatten the dough balls into chalupa shells.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan to about 350°F (175°C).

Fry the chalupa shells for about 30 seconds to a minute on each side, shaping them as they cook.

Drain the fried chalupa shells on the upside-down part of a taco rack.

Season a thick steak with kosher salt and pepper before cooking.
