Description
Skip the drive-thru and make these Taco Bell Chalupas Supreme right at home. Crispy chalupa shells are filled with seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, juicy tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream for a copycat version that's every bit as satisfying.
Ingredients
1 package (4 count) Mission Chalupa Shells
1 pound lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7)
1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
⅔ cup water
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
Instructions
Start by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Add the taco seasoning and water according to the package directions. Stir well and allow the mixture to simmer until thickened.
While the beef cooks, prepare your toppings by shredding the lettuce, dicing the tomatoes, shredding the cheese, and placing the sour cream in a serving bowl.
Warm the Mission Chalupa Shells according to the package directions. They should become lightly crisp on the outside while remaining soft enough to fold slightly.
If making homemade chalupa flatbread, prepare and cook the dough until lightly golden and puffed before assembling the chalupas.
Fill each warm shell with a generous spoonful of seasoned beef.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Serve immediately while the shells are still warm and crisp.
Notes
Use lean ground beef for less grease and easier cleanup.
Warm the chalupa shells just before serving so they stay crisp.
Freshly shred your cheese instead of using pre-shredded cheese for the best texture.
