A chalupene (Spanish pronunciation: [tʃaˈlupa]) is a tostada platter in Mexican cuisine. It is a specialty of south-central Mexico including the states of Puebla Guerrero and Oaxaca. Chalupas are made by pressing a thin layer of masa dough around the outside of a small mold in the process creating a concave container resembling the boat of the same name and then deep frying the result to produce crisp shallow corn cups.
