Chalupas

It really doesn't get much easier than this!! And the kids loved it {except for the beans, but I made 'em eat 'em anyway and they all lived and didn't complain too much}! The recipe come from the Recipe Girl! I found the recipe at Real Mom Kitchen and she linked up to the Recipe Girl! The picture is from Real Mom Kitchen! Like I said...super easy! It's mainly a taco, but it's an easy way to "mix it up"!

Nonstick cooking spray
(Eight) 6-inch flour tortillas- or use corn if you’d like, but they should be fried first
2 cups refried beans
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese blend
1 cup fresh salsa
1 cup sour cream
2 cups finely chopped lettuce (optional)
1 cup guacamole (optional)

1. Preheat the broiler. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place 4 tortillas on the baking sheet and heat on the center rack in the oven for 4 minutes.
2. Remove the baking sheet from oven and turn over the tortillas. Spread each tortilla with 1/4 cup refried beans and top with 1/4 cup cheese. Bake until the cheese is hot and bubbling and the tortillas are crisp, 5 to 7 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
3. Serve immediately, topping each tortilla with salsa & sour cream. Add lettuce and guacamole too, if desired.
Tips:
*Have leftover taco meat? Crumble it on top to make this meal more substantial.

I did cook up some hamburger and added that and of course the kids added ketchup and ranch!! Served with some chips and jello!!
