• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 pound Ground beef

• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Lettuce, shredded
• 1 medium Tomato, diced
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Guacamole
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a 6-inch circle.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil for frying in a deep pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Fry each dough circle in the hot oil until golden and crispy on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Step 7

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Step 8

Add the gluten-free taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the cooked beef. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the seasoning is well incorporated.

Step 9

To assemble the chalupa supreme, take a fried chalupa shell and spread a layer of seasoned beef on top.

Step 10

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef.

Step 11

Add a handful of shredded lettuce and a few diced tomato pieces.

Step 12

Top with a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of guacamole.

Step 13
