Chalupa Goop


Well, it's actually called "Mexican Chalupas", but my husband and I just started calling it "Chalupa Goop" because it rhymed and sounded funny. :-) This stuff is so good and super easy to make. You can eat it in a tortilla, over rice, on a salad or just plain with tortilla chips. You decide! I got this recipe from my mother-in-law and it's been a family favorite ever since.
Also, if you're into food storage, this recipe uses everything that is food storage-friendly, and it also freezes really well. How much more perfect could you get?

Chalupa Goop

1 small picnic pork or 2 cans of chicken, drained (We use the chicken.)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 large can chopped green chilies
16 oz. jar picante sauce (it looks like salsa, but it's runnier)
16 oz. jar green salsa (salsa verde)
2 cans pinto beans
1 can diced tomatoes, with juice (opt.)

Add everything into a crockpot, or if you're in a hurry, cooking it in a pot works too. Heat until warm. Serve on warm torillas and garnish with cheese, sour cream, and lettuce.

Sarah... This is an absolutely awesome blog! You are a wonderful chef/cook and I have used your recipes many times! Thanks for sharing with all of us and making our mouths water.

When ya gotta cook every day, cooking can get rather boring if you don't have fresh ideas to thrive on. Thanks Sarah!!
