1 tablespoon

dried minced onion
1/2 cup
water
Flat
bread (pita will work)
Oil for
deep-frying
Sour
Cream
Shredded
lettuce
Shredded
Cheddar/Jack cheese
Diced
Tomatoes
Mix dried onion with
water in a small bowl and let stand for
five minutes. Combine
ground beef, flour, chili powder,
paprika, and salt.
Mix well. Add onions and water. Mix again.
In a skillet, cook
beef mixture until browned. Stir often
while cooking so no
large chunks form; it should be more like
a paste. Remove from
heat and keep warm.
In a deep-fryer (or
you can use a skillet) deep fry the
bread for 30 seconds.
Let drain on absorbent towels.
Build Chalupas starting
with meat, then sour cream, lettuce
cheese, and tomatoes
in that order. Top with hot sauce or
salsa if desired.
