Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 corn tortillas (or premade fried chalupa shells)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 radishes, thinly sliced
1/4 cup cilantro leaf, loosely packed
1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
1/4 cup scallion, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
6 tablespoons low-fat sour cream

Steps:

  • When you are ready to assemble the chalupas, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the tortillas in a single layer. Bake tortillas for 20 minutes until crispy and golden brown. (Do not turn over.)
  • While the tortillas are baking, place the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder and Dijon mustard in a bowl and whisk until blended.
  • Add the lettuce, radishes, cilantro leaves, basil and scallions to the above ingredients. Toss to combine.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss again.
  • Keeping the just-baked tortillas on the cookie sheet, spread 1/4 cup of the White Bean Dip on each tortilla and sprinkle with 2 Tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Heat in oven at 350 degrees F until cheese is melted-about 5 minutes.
  • Top each tortilla with salad mix, avocado salsa, sour cream and remaining cheese. If you have extra tortillas, cut them into quarters and bake them to use as garnish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Be sure to cook the beans until they are tender, but not mushy.
  • If you don't have a tortilla press, you can use a rolling pin to flatten the tortillas.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the chalupas, or they will be difficult to fold.
  • Serve the chalupas immediately, while they are still warm and crispy.
