Ingredients

6 corn tortillas (or premade fried chalupa shells)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 radishes, thinly sliced
1/4 cup cilantro leaf, loosely packed
1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
1/4 cup scallion, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
6 tablespoons low-fat sour cream

Method

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F when you are ready to assemble the chalupas.
Lightly coat cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
Arrange the tortillas in a single layer on the sheets and bake for 20 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown, without turning them over.
As the tortillas bake, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder and Dijon mustard in a bowl, whisking until blended.
Add the shredded lettuce, sliced radishes, cilantro leaves, basil and chopped scallions to the dressing and toss to coat.
Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste and give it another toss.
Leaving the baked tortillas on the cookie sheet, spread 1/4 cup of the White Bean Dip on each one and top with 2 Tablespoons of grated cheddar cheese.
Return them to the 350 degrees F oven and heat for about 5 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Finish each tortilla with the prepared salad mix, avocado salsa, sour cream and the rest of the cheese. Any extra tortillas can be cut into quarters and baked to use as a garnish.
