Ground Beef Recipe for Chalupas

*Corn tortillas, white, yellow, or red
*Hot oil for frying (350°)
*Refried Beans (Authentic or canned beans)
*Mexican salsa (Authentic or canned salsa)
*Ground Beef (Authentic and delicious with this ground beef recipe Guaranteed)
*Sour cream (optional)
*Guacamole (optional)
*4 oz. grated cheese (Cheddar, Monterey jack, or mixed)
*Iceberg lettuce, sliced thin
*Ripe tomato's, diced

Fry the corn tortillas, one at a time, in hot oil (350°). Put the tortilla into the oil, let fry for about 20 seconds, then turn over with tongs. Let fry for about 2 minutes, then turn over again. The white or yellow corn tortilla should turn a golden brown, but not a dark brown. The red tortilla's will turn a darker shade of red and all will quit bubbling when they are completely fried throughout.

Remove when done and place on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Allow 1 chalupa per person if serving as an appetizer, two if for the entree.

Grate the cheese using a fine grater or processor blade. Place in a plastic bag or cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble the chalupas.
Core, wash, and dry the lettuce. Cut the lettuce into fine strips (1/8 or less). Take a large chunk and hold in one hand while carefully slicing off thin strips. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
Core the tomato, then dice. Refrigerate until ready to use. Remove the beans from the heat and pour into a glass bowl. This will help them thicken before using on the chalupas.
They should be fairly thick, but not runny. With a rubber spatula or large spoon, spread a thin layer of beans (1/4 inch or less) on each shell. Ground Beef Recipe.

Healthy Ground Beef Recipe

1 lb. lean cut ground beef
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 cups red kidney beans
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground red pepper
1 cup frozen corn
1-8 oz. can tomato sauce
1-8 oz. can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 cup Tabasco sauce
½ cup yellow onion, diced

Soak the red kidney beans overnight in cold water before using them in this recipe. In a skillet, combine the olive oil and hamburger meat. Cook the meat on high heat until the pink color has disappeared. Remove the skillet from the heat and drain any excess oil.

Put the hamburger meat into a large saucepan. Now add the kidney beans. Your frozen bag of corn does have to thaw a little bit before adding it to the beans and meat. Add the corn. Now open your can of tomato sauce and tomatoes with green chilies. The tomatoes and chilies do not have to be drained.

This extra sauce will only add more flavors. No harm done. Next, dice up the yellow onion and add it to the beans and hamburger meat. Lastly, you must season your meaty chili with beans. The first seasoning to be added is the Tabasco sauce. Use more or less sauce depending on your preference for spicy flavors.

Stir the chili after adding the Tabasco sauce. Lastly, add the chili powder and red pepper. Stir the chili once more. Bring this chili to a full boil and boil on high heat for 15 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium and cover. Cook for another 10 minutes. Serve immediately with a large slice of cornbread.
