Tex-Mex Chalupa Casserole


I have struggled from day one over what to call this casserole.

The recipe I patterned this after was called Chalupa Casserole. Okay.

On the other hand, I have gone to a Mexican restaurant before, ordered a chalupa plate expecting that, and received what really was a tostada to me - a flat, fried tortilla, topped with refried beans and meat and dressed like a taco, with lettuce, onion and tomatoes. Nothing concave or boat shaped about it!
