Ingredients
- 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups refried beans
- 2 cups shredded beef
- 4 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 4 roma tomatoes diced
- 2 avocados pitted and diced
- 1/4 minced white onion
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 lime juiced
Instructions
- Pour oil into a heavy skillet to cover the bottom of the pan with about 1/2 to 1-inch of oil. Heat to 350 degrees.
- Working 1 or 2 at a time, fry tortillas for about 60 seconds per side until crisp and golden. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spread some refried beans on top of one of the cooked tortillas. Top with a pinch of mozzarella cheese, some shredded beef, and then more cheese. Top with another tortilla like a sandwich and add another generous pinch of cheese to the top. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until you have 6 chalupas. Put chalupas in oven for 5 minutes until cheese melts.
- Meanwhile, make avocado salsa by combining tomatoes, avocados, onion, cilantro, salt, and lime juice in a bowl.
- Serve chalupas immediately with a heaping spoonful of avocado salsa and some sour cream.
