Call me crazy, but on 1 of the hottest days of the yr I decided to plow my kitchen into a baking exam zone. The occasion was prompted past times ingenious ideas floating to a greater extent than or less the cyberspace instructing cooks on how to brand their ain homemade taco bowls or shells from corn tortillas. I really much bask tacos rolled upward inwards soft tortillas, especially equally they are thus slow to lay together alongside your favorite filling, but this fourth dimension to a greater extent than or less I wanted a hard-shell taco as well as I was surprised how slow they are to ready at habitation later on merely a trivial practice.

I was especially smitten alongside the persuasion of using the underside of a muffin tin to kind your corn tortillas into bowls earlier baking them. True, I did non brand my ain corn tortillas from scratch (next time) but I did purpose fresh ones from a local market. You volition notice that in that place actually is no comparing alongside the salty as well as stale prepackaged ones flora inwards the kits that are available at large grocery stores, as well as there's no demand to worry nigh opening upward the box to notice a bunch of broken shells as well as crumbs. You tin dismiss travel certain these volition impress your friends as well as family, as well as alongside a trivial patience yous volition non believe how slow they are to make.

What yous volition need:
- heavy-bottomed skillet
- 12-cup non-stick muffin tin
- olive stone oil for brushing
- 6-inch corn tortillas
Instructions:
Preheat an oven to 375°. Turn the muffin tin upside downwards as well as lightly brush the bottom alongside olive oil. ![but]() Heat a dry out skillet over medium oestrus as well as warm a tortilla until softened, nigh 10 to fifteen seconds on each side. Lightly brush each side of the tortilla alongside stone oil as well as sprinkle alongside a fighting of spice if desired. Center the tortilla betwixt 4 muffin cups as well as gently kind into bowl shapes. Repeat. You volition travel able to gibe 3 tortillas on the tin.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the tortillas start to chocolate-brown as well as crisp up. Remove from the oven as well as permit correspond a few minutes earlier taking them out of the tin. Repeat this procedure until yous bring equally many taco bowls equally needed. They volition travel on for a few days stored inwards an air-tight container, although they are best when made the same day.
![but]() An choice method is to steam the tortillas inwards a vegetable or rice steamer for a few minutes earlier brushing them alongside stone oil as well as shaping into bowls. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 2nd choice is putting the tortillas betwixt 2 microwave-safe plates as well as microwaving on high for 1 minute. Note: I besides tried this method using corn as well as flour tortillas equally they are much to a greater extent than pliable as well as slow to travel alongside than the corn tortillas, as well as don't require warming beforehand. I flora the corn tortillas brand a far superior taco bowl, to a greater extent than closely resembling what most of us would intend of equally the "proper" crunchy taco crunch texture. You do bring to travel to a greater extent than careful alongside the corn tortillas because they tear easily if yous are non gentle plenty when shaping them into bowls. If yous create upward one's hear to purpose corn as well as flour tortillas, brand them correct earlier using thus that they don't destination upward chewy as well as tough.

Serving possibilities are equally endless equally the imagination of the cook. For my taco dinner I made upward a batch of my famous spicy
vegetarian refried beans, lined the bowls alongside some thinly sliced Belgian endive — yous could purpose lettuce — as well as thus scooped inwards a generous sum of the beans as well as topped them alongside grated extra sometime Cheddar cheese. Just popular nether the broiler until the cheese is merely melted, transfer to a plate, exceed alongside some fresh
spicy salsa or sour cream as well as sprinkle alongside some chili pulverization or paprika, as well as serve alongside a side of fresh cooked chocolate-brown rice as well as some salad greens.
