Guacamole And Cheese Chalupas Food

LAS CHALUPAS

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat, brown meat. Add taco seasoning, salsa, and jalapeno juice. Add a little water if mixture is too dry. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
• In another skillet, heat Canola over medium-high heat. Fry flour tortilla shells flat until crispy on both sides. Place tortillas on a flat plate. Cover in meat, then cover meat with cheese, and melt cheese under broiler, about 2 minutes. Remove plate and cover cheese with shredded lettuce, then tomatoes, and olives. Place dollops of guacamole and sour cream in center.

• Mash together the avocado and goat cheese.
• Add the onion, cumin seeds, lemon juice, hot sauce and seasoning.
• Top each tortilla with the guacamole, then a little yogurt.
• Sprinkle the cilantro on top, to garnish.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CHALUPAS

Steps:

• In a heavy bottomed medium skillet (that a whole flat tortilla can fit into) add about 1/4" of canola oil. Set over a medium to medium high heat. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, rest a tortilla on the oil (it will float- like a boat) and let it cook for about a minute, until bubbling. Spoon 2 tablespoons of salsa into the center of the tortilla and gently spread it around, but not quite to the edge. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes or until the tortilla edges and bottom are crisp. It's ok, if a little hot oil touches the salsa.
• Transfer the chalupa to a tray lined with paper towels to drain. Continue in this method with the rest of the tortillas.
• Divide the chicken or pork and queso fresco over the chalupas. Garnish with cilantro and extra salsa verde if desired.

CHALUPAS

Steps:

• Place pork roast in large stockpot. Add pintos, tomatoes, chiles, onion, garlic, oregano, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and lower to a gentle simmer. Cover and slowly cook 3 hours; remove meat and set aside to cool. Continue cooking uncovered until beans are tender, another 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, remove cooled meat from bone, and shred or pull off in bite-size pieces. Discard bone and fat. Return to pot and cook 1 hour longer. Stir often and add more water when necessary to thin slightly. (Chalupas should have the consistency of stew).
• Serve hot in bowls, with corn chips on the bottom, a ladle of chalupas, and pile on condiments of your choice. It will store well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
