Copycat Taco Bell Chalupa Supreme

These copycat Taco Bell chalupas are better than the fast food favorite and loaded with all your favorite taco toppings! Using a homemade fried dough "boat" to house delicious taco meat, cheese, and lettuce, these chalupas will quickly become a family favorite.

baking powder

table salt

milk,

butter

canola oil

best taco meat

shredded cheese

chopped lettuce

taco sauce

Heat about 2 inches of canola oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl.

Combine with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute or so until the dough becomes mostly smooth. The dough should feel tacky but it shouldn't stick to your hands.

Cut dough into 8 equal size pieces. Roll each into a ball. 

Use a rolling pin to gently roll out each dough ball into a circle about 6 inches wide and 1/8 of an inch thick.

Gently shake excess flour off. Add dough to the pot of oil, cooking one shell at a time. Let it cook on each side for about 5 seconds, then use a tongs to gently fold it in half. 

Use the tongs to hold one half of the chalupa in the oil, cooking it for about 1-2 minutes. Then use tongs to hold the other half of the chalupa in the oil, cooking it for another minute or two.

Once it's a golden brown color, use tongs to gently remove the shell from the oil and let the excess oil drip off.

Hang a wooden spoon over the center of a medium bowl. Place the cooked chalupa shell over the handle of the spoon to help form its shape as you cook the next chalupa shell. 

Then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and continue cooking the remaining shells.

You may need to turn the heat down a bit as you cook. If the shells cook faster than 1 minute per side, turn the heat down.  

Fill chalupa shells with the best taco meat recipe, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar, sour cream, and diced tomatoes. Enjoy!

These are so much better than Taco Bell! Our daughter loves these every time we make them. Thanks for such a great recipe!

I'm a HUGE fan of Taco Bell's Beef and Chicken Chalupas but when I made THESE CHALUPAS...THIS IS THE SECOND BEST RECIPE FOR CHALUPAS THAT I HAVE MADE AND TRIED AND MY GOODNESS, THEY PUT TACO BELL TO SHAME!!!!! I will never eat another Chalupa that isn't made from my own hands and coming out of my kitchen again!!!
