Equipment

  • aluminum foil

Ingredients

  • 6 soft taco sized flour tortillas
  • nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  • Pull off 6 large sheets of aluminum foil, then roll each one into a roughly 4" ball. Arrange the balls in two rows on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Working with one tortilla at a time, spray both sides liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the tortilla on top of one of the foil balls. Repeat until all are sprayed and each is on a foil ball.

  • Gently press the tortilla sides/edges down against the balls to form a 'bowl' shape.
  • Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes, or until the shells are crispy and lightly golden brown.
  • Carefully remove the hot tortilla shells from the foil balls and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Use and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't want to waste foil? Out of foil? No worries! You can use deep oven safe bowls instead
  • Part of the beauty of these tortilla bowls is customizing them with your own seasonings. Sprinkle on sea salt, chili powder, lime zest, or your other favorite seasonings.
  • Don't skip the cooling time before you fill them. This time helps them hold their shape.
