How to Make a Taco Bell Beef Chalupa Supreme

Last Updated: September 15, 2021

In America, chalupas are the "pita" version of a regular taco. With different kinds of meat available and a few vegetable goodies, this crunchy flatbread taco is great.

Ingredients

1 pound of ground beef
1/4 cup of flour
1 tablespoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of dried minced onion
1/2 cup of water
flat bread (pita will work)
oil (for deep-frying)
sour cream
shredded lettuce
shredded Cheddar-Jack cheese
diced tomatoes

Steps

1
Get a small bowl and combine the water with the onions. Place it on the side for about 5 minutes.
2
Get a medium sized bowl and combine the chili powder, salt, paprika, ground beef, and flour. Pour in the onion mixture and mix everything together thoroughly.
3
Heat the skillet and cook the mixture. Because of the flour and water, be sure to keep stirring to avoid large chucks. The result of cooking this mixture should become a paste.
4
Remove the skillet from the heat, but try to keep the mixture warm.
5
Use another skillet or a deep fryer with the bread. You'll only need to fry each piece for 30 seconds each. Drain and settle the pieces on paper towels.
6
Start making your chalupas. Take some of the meat mixture, then scoop up some sour cream and put it on the meat. Sprinkle lettuce, cheese, and then tomatoes. These items needs to be in order. Use hot sauce if you wish.
7
Finished.

Question

Can I toast the pitta instead of frying it?

Community Answer

You can, but it won't provide the same taste as an authentic chalupa from Taco Bell.
Question

Can I purchase the bread anywhere to make the sandwich?

Yes, you can buy many different types of breads from stores or a restaurant. You can even get gluten-free bread.
