Crockpot Chalupas Are the Perfect Way to Feed a Crowd! This Easy, Delicious Recipe Is Versatile Enough to Please Everyone!

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.

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
