Chalupa

1. 1

   To make the chalupa shell, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. 2

   Cut in shortening and add milk.

3. 3

   Shape dough into a long cylinder and divide equally into 6 balls.

4. 4

   Pat each ball out into a circle 5 inches in diameter (make the circles thinner in the middle so there will be a depression to hold the toppings).

5. 5

   Fry each disc in hot oil until puffed and golden on both sides (turn once).

6. 6

   Drain on absorbent paper towels.

7. 7

   Pile your choice of ground beef, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, peppers, and cheese.

8. 8

   Accompany, if desired, with salsa, sliced black olives, sour cream, or guacamole.
