This is an old recipe from Sunset magazine, from when it was still owned by the Lane family and they had the beautiful home in Menlo Park. To give you an idea of how old this recipe is, Sunset did not suggest using a food processor. This is a great way to use leftover chicken or turkey.
Chalupa Patties
1/4 cup butter at room temperature
1 1/2 cups masa harina (corn masa)
1/2 tsp salt
about 3/4 cup water
Mix masa, salt, and butter in the bowl of a food processor or a mixer. Add water and mix until the dough holds together well. Form the dough into balls and then press into 6 circles about 5 inches in diameter. You can do this on wax paper or a silicone sheet. Cook until light brown on both sides using a griddle on medium heat, about 350ºF.
Chicken Topping
2 tablespoons oil
1 medium onion, diced
chopped garlic to taste
1 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup taco sauce or to taste
About 3 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey
Sauté onion in oil until golden. Add garlic and cook a bit more. Add tomato sauce and taco sauce and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken or turkey, cover and remove from heat.
Toppings
about 16 oz. refried beans heated. You may top with cheese if heated in oven.
guacamole, use 2 avocados
sour cream
add whatever else you like
Assembly
Top chalupa patties with a layer of refried beans. Next layer on the chicken. Top that with guacamole and finally add some sour cream.
