How To Make candi's chalupa style taco's
-
Step 1In large bowl mix flour, salt, taco seasoning. add shortening and blend well with hands, mixing as you would a meatloaf. Add water and mix with hand until it forms a solid soft dough. Cover and set aside while you prepare your meat
-
Step 2Brown meat, 1/2 the onion and taco seasoning until no longer pink. preheat oven to "warm" or very low setting.
-
Step 3knead your bread about 2-3 minutes, split into 10 balls and roll out to 1/2 inch thick. poke with fork all over 1 side. place in cast iron skillet on low on each side for about 30 seconds per side. I do not let these get "brown" spots, I keep them "golden" keep in tortilla warmer or bowl covered with towel
-
Step 4fill each "chalupa" bread with meat mix on 1/2 of it, cover meat with cheese mixes, fold in half and wrap in aluminum foil. Place in oven for 10-15 minutes to melt cheeses and warm through.

Step 5I serve with diced onion, tomato, shredded lettuce and black olives, taco sauces & salsa like a taco bar! Thank you Jesus for cooking with me :0)
