Like my iceberg wedge salad, I love to serve chalupas as a build-your-own bar. The toppings are flexible; here, I suggest mashed pinto beans, shredded chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro lime sauce, cheese, and salsa. But don’t fret if you are missing a few. Also, instead of chicken, you could use seasoned ground beef or even ceviche. For picky kids, just beans and cheese is delicious.
