- Adjust Dough Consistency: If you need a little more liquid to knead the dough, you can use water.
- Knead Soft: Keep kneading till it all comes together and dough feels soft.

- Roll Dough Balls: Then roll each part between both palms to make a ball. Roll out each ball using a rolling pin into a 7-8 inch (diameter) disc.
- Prepare for Frying: Punch some holes with fork. This will ensure that the chalupa does not puff a lot while frying.
- Heat Oil: Oil should not be more than 2 inches deep. Heat oil over medium flame.
- Fry Discs: When the oil is ready, slowly slide the rolled-out disc in the oil.
- Wait to Puff: The disc will rise up on the oil and will puff up slightly.
- Flip Disc: With a pair of tongs, pick up the disc and flip it to the other side.
- Fold Chalupa: Immediately, pinch up a side of the disc with tongs and gently fold it in half. Cook this half side for 30 seconds.
- Cook Other Side: Flip and cook the other half for another 1 minute till both sides are golden and crunchy.
- Serve Chalupas: To serve chalupas place a piece of fried bread on a plate and top with the refried beans, guacamole, pica de Gallo , chopped lettuce , cheese , olives and sour cream or any other desired toppings.
