This recipe was given to me by a very dear couple, Kieth & Irene Knight..who welcomed me into their home & family. The first meal I had with them was, Chalupas.

There are 3 parts to making this meal.

PART 1: Beef Mixture:
Brown ground beef with 1/2 T.Cumin, 1 to 1 1/2 Onions(diced), 1 T Garlic, 1 T. Seasoning Salt, 1 8oz can of Tomato Sauce. Make sure it is mixed well together.

Part 2: Bean Mixture:
Blend in a blender:Pinto Beans, more onions & some salt, jalapeno pepper.

Part 3: Corn Tortillas: Fry them till crispy in a little oil.

Now comes the fun part...piling onto the tortillas whatever toppings you desire...Take some of the Beef Mixture, then the Bean Mixture and smear generously on tortilla. Add to the top of this: lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, hot sauce, jalapena peppers and/or onions.

Then it's Chow Time.

Goes very well with Marguaritas for that South of the Border taste sensation.

Thanks again to Kieth & Irene for sharing this recipe with me.
