Chicken Chalupa Recipe – Light Chicken Recipes

I am a big fan of Chalupas Taco Bell Chicken, but homemade versions are always better! My recipe for the copycat chicken chalupa is filled with juicy chicken, chopped cheese and all my favorite toppings. The frying of the chalupa taco shells is super simple and are so fluffy and crisp. It has all the aroma of my favorite, but it tastes fresher. And is ready in 20 minutes!

Taco Bell Copycat Recipe Chaloucat

I always liked to order Supreme Chalupas to Taco Bell, because those crunchy and fluffy shells really lead a regular taco to the next level. It seems that the frying of the tortilla chaloupes is indeed simple and, of course, I prefer to make mine with delicious chicken breast instead of beef. I finish my chicken with cream, salad and tomatoes cut into cubes for a fresh bite! My children like these, so it’s the perfect family dinner. And the best part is that this chaloupe recipe is faster than going to the unit. I can even make my own crunchwrap with him!

As fast and easy as this chicken chaloupe recipe, on some days I want it to be a little easier. So, when I feel lazy, I like to condemn the rotating chicken bought from the store, with a taco spice and use it as a filling-no cooking is necessary! This works well with any remaining chicks you have at hand.

How to store and reheat

I recommend that you store the chaloupe and chicken filling separately to prevent them from going. Everything will be kept well up to 3 days in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer. Leave the defrosting overnight in the refrigerator before reheating the chalupa shells in a 350 ° F for 6-7 minutes and the meat in the microwave until heating. Then, assemble and enjoy it!
