Homemade Chalupa | Taco Bell Copycat Recipe #tacotuesday

Mix all ingredients for the chalupa dough in a bowl until well combined.

Gradually add milk to the dough mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.

Knead the dough, adding flour a little at a time until it is no longer sticky.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or a towel and set aside.

In a pan over medium-high heat, cook 2 pounds of ground beef, breaking it down as it cooks.

Add dry seasoning ingredients to the ground beef and mix well until fully cooked.

Drain excess oil from the cooked ground beef.

Dust a cutting board with flour and slice the dough into 8 equal pieces.

Roll each piece of dough into a circle, ensuring they are as uniform as possible.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat until bubbling.

Fry each rolled-out dough piece in the hot oil, popping bubbles as they form.

Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and crease the chalupa to form a shell.

Cook until the other side is also golden brown and crispy.

Remove the chalupa from the oil and let it drain.

Top the chalupa with desired toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.
