With the traditional variety including only a tortilla, cheese, beans, and lettuce, what Mexican dish is named for a small boat or gondola?

A traditional chalupa comes from Cholula, Puebla, and is a small, fried masa topped only with salsa, cheese, and shredded lettuce. Over the years, other parts of Mexico have added other ingredients including meat, refried beans, and onions. It gets its name because its shape resembles a small boat or gondola called a chalupa.
