Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 cup black beans
• 0.5 cup protein powder
• 4 flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 avocado
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Begin by making the protein-rich chalupa shells: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of protein powder with 1/4 cup of water to form a thick paste.

Step 2

Spread a thin layer of the protein paste over each flour tortilla to enhance their protein content.

Step 3

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Fry each tortilla, protein side down first, for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and crumbled ground beef. Cook over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add taco seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and water. Stir well and let the beef simmer for another 5 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 7

Add black beans to the skillet with the beef, stir, and let the mixture heat for an additional 3 minutes.

Step 8

To assemble the chalupas, spread a layer of sour cream on each fried tortilla.

Step 9

Top with a generous spoonful of beef and bean mixture.

Step 10

Layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and slices of avocado.

Step 11

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your high-protein Chalupa Supremes!
