Tips:
- To make the chalupa shells, use a tortilla press or a heavy skillet to flatten the corn tortillas until they are thin and pliable.
- If you don't have a chalupa pan, you can fry the shells in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet when frying the shells, or they will not cook evenly.
- Once the shells are fried, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- For the guacamole, use ripe avocados that are soft to the touch.
- Mash the avocados with a fork or spoon until they are smooth and creamy.
- Season the guacamole with lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- For the cheese sauce, use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well.
- Make sure to cook the cheese sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, to prevent it from burning.
- Once the cheese sauce is smooth and creamy, season it with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the chalupas, place a fried tortilla shell on a plate.
- Top the tortilla with guacamole, cheese sauce, and your favorite toppings.
- Serve the chalupas immediately.
