CROCKPOT CHALUPAS
Sometimes, you want a really fancy, impressive dish to serve; sometimes, you want something that is easy, hearty, flavorful, and just plain delicious. Crockpot Chalupas to the rescue!
This yummy combination of slow-cooked meat, beans, and wonderful Mexican spices is so good on top of a crispy tortilla. (It’s also a great filling for enchiladas, burritos, or any other Mexican goodies you might feel like making!) And it’s hearty enough to serve for any occasion!
CAN I ADJUST THE SPICINESS OF CROCKPOT CHALUPAS?
You certainly can! The version I’ve posted is kid-friendly, but if you would like to tone it down a bit, you certainly can. Conversely, if you like your Chalupas spicy, feel free to kick it up a notch!
Note – because flavors tend to deepen during slow cooking, I really would recommend making the recipe “as written” the first time, and then slowly adjusting the spices to your liking. This is a really easy recipe to adjust, though!
WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH CHALUPAS?
That’s kind of the beauty of this dish – it can easily be an all-in-one! All you really need is a crispy tortilla to pile this wonderful mixture on, and you’re ready to go. If you would like a side dish though, some cilantro-lime rice and a quick salad would go well with it!
WILL CROCKPOT CHALUPAS FREEZE WELL?
It certainly will! Honestly, feel free to make as much of this as you like – it freezes very well, and the leftovers are so versatile. Keep some on hand so you can have Chalupas whenever the cravings hit!

Happenings From Our Family of 9
We were in Branson, Mo recently at the state park marina. These three girls found a seat in this chair fit for a giant! It was on the dock at the marina. I’m not sure what it has to do with boating, but it sure made for a good photo opportunity.
