This authentic Mexican chalupa recipe is from my friend Aurora who hails from Puebla, Mexico! In a heavy bottomed medium skillet (that a whole flat tortilla can fit into) add about 1/4″ of canola oil. Set over a medium to medium high heat.
This chalupa pork recipe is a perfect one to make for a party like Cinco De Mayo. It is as hands free as it gets and it practically cooks itself, except for the shredding part. This dish can also be served right from the crock pot and is basically self serve which is great for any party.
Chalupa is actually the name of a boat, which this famous Mexican food is named for. The crispy masa shells are traditionally shaped to resemble the hulls of the ships. In this chalupa recipe, they do double duty acting as a “vessel” for salsa and other toppings.
