Chicken Chalupa

Chicken Chalupa is a marvelous, mouthwatering Tex-Mex dish that is just superb. There’s hardly another word to describe it! This recipe uses shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, both cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, sour cream, olives, corn, green onions and diced green chilies. A little sprinkling of paprika on the top sets off the flavors wonderfully. I like rolling these in large-sized flour tortillas (like for burritos) rather than the really small ones. This fantastic main dish can be compared to chicken enchiladas, but there is no enchilada sauce in the recipe. It’s a whole lot of cheese and chicken!

Years ago, when we lived in Massachusetts, Shirley Huffman invited our family to her house for dinner one night. She needed John’s advice on some bookkeeping matters for her Baptist association office and my husband, John, had a lot of expertise in that area, so she decided to kill two birds with one stone. She had the family over for dinner and talked to John about financial matters at the same time. She served SO much food! She made this recipe, which was one her daughter had given to her. She also made beef enchiladas with a tomato/enchilada sauce, a luscious frozen cranberry/orange salad, dessert, rice and a few other things. I thought her Chicken Chalupa was amazing. She generously shared the recipe and about the only thing I do differently is add a can of corn.
