Cheesy Crunchy Chicken Chalupas

A family favorite! This dinner comes together in a flash, and everyone will love it from littles to bigs!

Chalupas have been a staple in my dinner rotation since I can remember. There is a home video of me as a toddler eating these for dinner. I even made chalupas in my college dorm! It's a dinner that works for every stage of life.

A quick dinner that allows for more family time.

This dinner isn't only time-saving it's cost-saving as well! It takes just a few ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Depending on how many you are feeding, you only need 1-2 chicken breasts or 1-2 cups of shredded chicken to feed everyone!

Cheesy Crunchy Chicken Chalupas

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings of 3 chalupas

• 12 chalupas (I like the big stack of mission brand)

• 2 cups of shredded chicken

• 1 can of refried beans

• 1 chopped roma tomato

• 1 cup shredded lettuce

• 1 cup of shredded cheese

• 1-2 avocados sliced (optional)
  

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. I like to use the toaster oven because I put the chalupas directly on the rack to get them nice and crispy. I would be too nervous to do that with the regular oven! Heat the refried beans for one minute in the microwave and stir. Spread a thin layer over the chalupa shells.

2. Top chalupas with shredded chicken, and cheese.

3. Bake until cheese is melted, remove from toaster oven. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado if desired.

4. Enjoy!
