How to make TACO BELL Chalupas

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Ground turkey reduces fat content while canned beans offer a vegetarian option.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories, while processed cheese is often cheaper.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with fewer calories.

hot sauce

🥗Healthier: salsa

💰Cheaper: homemade hot sauce

Salsa can be fresher and lower in sodium.

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Add water gradually and knead until smooth.

Divide dough into equal portions and shape into balls.

Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot.

Fry each disc until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove and drain on paper towels.

In a separate pan, cook ground beef until browned, adding taco seasoning as per package instructions.

Warm refried beans in a small pot over low heat.

Assemble chalupas by spreading refried beans on the fried dough.

Top with seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese.

Drizzle with sour cream and hot sauce before serving.
