Instructions
Chalupa Wrap
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powderr, and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk by hand to combine.
- Pour half the 2 cups whole milk into the bowl, and using a dough hook, mix the dough on medium speed while gradually adding more of the milk until it has all been added.
- Once everything has come together and the dough is smooth, remove it from the mixing bowl and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let the dough rest for 45 minutes to an hour.
- When the dough has rested, divide it all into 2-inch rounds. Place the rounds on a floured surface and roll them all out about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick. You can either roll them with a rolling pin or flatten and stretch them using your hands.
- Add 2 cups vegetable oil to a skillet and heat it up over medium-high heat. When the oil is ready, begin frying the chalupa wraps one wrap at a time by carefully placing them in the oil and frying for 2-3 minutes per side.
- The wraps should puff up and be a golden brown color. When they are done, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess oil.
- Allow the wraps to rest a little before filling.
Fillings
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place 1 pound ground beef into the skillet with ½ white onion finely dicedand cook the meat until it is nearly entirely browned, about 5-8 minutes.
- Add in the ¼ cup water and 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning, stir to coat all the meat entirely. Continue to cook until the beef has fully cooked and all the water has evaporated.
- Fill the chalupa wraps with a generous serving of meat, Pico de Gallo, Shredded cheddar cheese, Diced avocado, Lettuce, and Sour cream.
- Serve fresh!
