How do you think Taco Bell chalupa shells are made?

[CarlKillerMiller]

I had one last night, and it's been kinda bugging me, as to what exactly they're made of. I know that I'm going to get plenty of traditional ATOT "lol spit and semen lol" responses, but it's an honest question. They're interesting because they have the texture of a pita on the inside, while the outside is still rather firm.


Anyone have ideas on this one?

EDIT: I had considered deep fried flat bread, but I really think that instead of producing a crispy coating, the flatbread would just soak up the oil and become a bloated mess.

Anything will soak up the oil if it's not hot enough.... They fry the pita... and you can watch them do it, if they don't hav eenough premade... in a VERY hot vegetable oil.... Personally I don't like them, I prefer a straight gordita, calupa's are too greasy for me.

surely Beef or Steak Supreme Chalupas are god's gift to late night diners.

if it's wet when it goes in the oil and the oil is hot enough oil won't go in because water is coming out in the form of steam.
