Seasoned beef sits in a thick, deep-fried chalupa shell, then gets topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, cheddar cheese, and sour cream. That shell is where the format changes most. It’s fried, but still has a chewy, bread-like bite rather than the snap of a hard taco or the pliability of a soft tortilla. Compared with other Taco Bell items, it leans more toward a filled flatbread than a standard taco, with the fillings piled into the centre rather than wrapped around them.
