Chalupas de Frijol are deliciously crisp corn tortillas topped with a savory black bean mixture, fresh toppings, and a zesty salsa. This gluten-free dish is not only satisfying but also offers a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine.

Ingredients

• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Black beans (cooked and mashed) - 1 cup
• Onion (finely chopped) - 1/4 cup
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon

• Fresh cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Tomato (diced) - 1 medium

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
