15 Reviews of Taco Bell Chalupa copycat

I thought these chalupas were excellent. The taste was fantastic..... and honestly I had this weird urge to make them into a sweet treat, and I hope to do that soon. They reminded me of almost a home fried short-cut doughnut. One thing that I found that was helpful for us to make them into the chalupa shape was to go ahead and sort of mold them that way, then use two utensils (we used two long spoons we had) to hold them apart just enough for the toppings.... that way we didn't wind up with tortilla that was just barely bent! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

The flatbread was very easy to make, had a good flavor, but tasted nothing like Taco Bell's flatbread. It was good enough that I will make it again!

Thanks for posting this. My kids absolutely love the frybread. I like the texture of the meat mixture. We have made this many times and it makes the rotation on a regular basis.

i'm sorry...we just felt like both the bread and meat filling was on the bland side. i would definately try to make the bread again w/ more seasoning.

Really good. I didn't think they tasted exactly like the Taco Bell chalupas, but they were pretty fantastic. I used chicken instead - simply broiling some seasoned chicken tenders and omitting all of the beef mixture ingredients. This recipe must be combined with the Baja sauce!!! Pretty fantastic!

The recipe tasted great! it made a LOT, so plenty of leftovers. the only problem I had was some confusion over the recipe directions...i hope you don't mind that I edited it. The original directions had me make the dough & fry it, then the beef mixture, then repeated the directions for making the bread. All in all, super recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Had this recipe for a long time and enjoy making it. Its something different then the normal soft/hard taco shells. Not quite like Taco Bell, but nice for something different.

I have to wonder if the ingredients for the chalupa part is correct. I ended up with a soupy mess of flour and milk that in now way was going to become anything resembling a tortilla...even after I added more and more and more flour. Can you check the recipe please??? However, the rest of the recipe was a HIT in flour tortillas I happened to have!

I have used your fry bread recipe a few times now. My kids love it. I found a Baja sauce copycat recipe on here that goes great with it.
