  • Prepare the Refried Beans: Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until heated through.
  • Assemble the Chalupas: Spread a layer of warm refried beans on each chalupa shell. Top with a portion of the cooked beef mixture. Then, layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh cilantro on top of the beef.
  • Add Optional Toppings: If desired, add additional toppings such as salsa, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños on top of the chalupas.
