Prepare your taste buds for a tantalizing journey with our guacamole and cheese chalupas, a delightful fusion of Mexican and American flavors. These crispy, golden chalupas are made from scratch using a simple dough that's shaped and fried to perfection. We then generously fill them with a zesty guacamole made from fresh avocados, lime juice, cilantro, and a hint of spice. Topped with a generous layer of melted cheese, these chalupas are a symphony of textures and flavors that will transport you to culinary heaven.
In addition to the classic guacamole and cheese chalupas, we've included three more tempting variations to satisfy every palate. For those who love a bit of heat, our spicy chicken chalupa features tender, shredded chicken tossed in a fiery sauce and topped with guacamole and cheese. If you prefer a vegetarian option, our black bean and corn chalupa is packed with protein and flavor, thanks to the combination of black beans, corn, and a zesty salsa. And for those who enjoy a unique twist, our pineapple and bacon chalupa combines the sweet and savory flavors of pineapple, bacon, and cheese.

AVOCADO AND CHEESE CHALUPAS
A little nicer than a tostado! These are nice served with a little salsa and perhaps a lime wedge to squeeze over the top. I also like to have some margaritas with these!
