Question

Is a chalupa a real Mexican dish?

Answer 1

Yes a chalupa is a real Mexican dish.

The Chalupa is a Mexican dish which originated from Mexico and it's also as specialty Mexican dish of south-central Mexico, including the states of Hidalgo, Puebla, Guerrero, and Oaxaca.

The Chalupas main ingredients are Salsa, Lettuce, Cheese and Masa.

Chalupa is served at many Mexican places but is also served in America as well.

If you've never eaten a Chalupa I highly recommend you give it a try as it's very delicious and very filling.

I order a Chalupa every time I'm in the mood for Mexican food.

I wish I could make it at home as good as they do when I order it but I'm not that good of a cook.

Answer 2

A chalupa is a specialty dish of south-central Mexico.

Traditional chalupas are small, thick, boat-shaped fried dough topped only with Salsa, cheese, and shredded lettuce.

It is made out of flour dough and a thicker kind of shell that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Though you can use a taco holder for both, traditional tacos tend to be soft-shelled with corn tortillas, and Americanized versions may have crunchy folded shells or wheat tortillas in place of corn.

Chalupas, on the other hand, are rigid and boat-shaped, not folded.

The difference between a Chalupa and a Chimichanga is that chimichanga is (us) a deep-fried wet burrito while chalupa is a specialty food of south-central mexico, consisting of a bowl-shaped fried tortilla stuffed with chopped meat, lettuce, cheese, etc.
