Chalupa [0000960]

Ingredients:

6 gluten-free corn tortillas
1 cup cooked and seasoned ground beef (or your choice of protein)
1 cup gluten-free refried beans
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or dairy-free alternative)
1/4 cup sour cream (or dairy-free alternative)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Salsa or hot sauce (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Warm the gluten-free corn tortillas in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until they become soft and pliable.

While the tortillas are warming, heat the gluten-free refried beans in a microwave or on the stovetop until hot.

Spread a spoonful of the hot refried beans onto each warmed tortilla.

Top the beans with cooked and seasoned ground beef (or your chosen protein).

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese (or dairy-free alternative) over the meat.

Place the topped tortillas back in the oven for a few minutes, just until the cheese melts.

Remove the chalupas from the oven and assemble by adding shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes on top of the melted cheese.

Drizzle sour cream (or dairy-free alternative) over the assembled chalupas.

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and, if desired, a dash of salsa or hot sauce for extra kick.

Serve your gluten-free chalupas immediately as a tasty appetizer or snack.

These gluten-free chalupas are a Tex-Mex favorite, featuring flavorful toppings on a crispy corn tortilla. Enjoy the combination of textures and tastes!
