I wanted an easy alternative to deep-fried chalupas, so I bake them with filling on top. —Magdalena Flores, Abilene, Texas

Ingredients

  • 6 corn tortillas (6 inches)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with mild green chiles, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded cabbage

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place tortillas on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush each tortilla with oil; sprinkle with cheese.
  2. Place chicken, tomatoes and seasonings in a large skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until most of the liquid is evaporated, 6-8 minutes. Spoon over tortillas. Bake until tortillas are crisp and cheese is melted, 15-18 minutes. Top with cabbage.
