This is my version of the Chalupas we get at a favorite, local Mexican Restaurant. They are fairly easy to make
and taste great.
Heat oven to 325 degrees.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in oven-proof skillet and saute
onion until golden.
Add tomato sauce and 4 tablespoons taco sauce. Simmer, uncovered, stirring
often until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Add chicken; cover and set aside.
In baking dish, combine beans, garlic, remaining 2 tablespoons taco sauce
and 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese; mix well.
Place uncovered beans and chicken mixtures (separately) in oven for 30
minutes.
Stir beans occasionally.
Heat vegetable oil, about 1/2 -inch deep in skillet; drop in tortillas one
at a time for 5 seconds or until just softened.
Remove and drain; wrap in foil to keep pliable.
When ready to serve, spread each tortilla with beans, avocado slices, and
chicken mixture in that order.
Add diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, remaining 1 cup shredded cheese,
onion, and sour cream as desired to each chalupa.
If you like, in place of the avocado slices, you can use guacamole if you
have some made.
You can substitute ground beef in place of the chicken on days when you prefer beef.
Also, if you have the time to make quacamole, it's also wonderful on this dish.
