This recipe sounds good. I am from Mexico and down there the only
Chalupas that we know are totally different. The Chalupas we know are
soft fry corn tortillas (hard fry corn tortilla is a TOSTADA) with
different toppings, some times with or without spread refry beans, meat
(pork or beef), chopped onions, salsa and sour cream, very simple but
delicious.
