Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 1 can Cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil or melted butter (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray both sides of each tortilla with cooking spray or brush them with a thin layer of olive oil or melted butter for added crispiness.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt on each tortilla to enhance flavor.
To shape the tortilla bowls, flip a standard muffin tin upside down. Drape one tortilla over the space between four muffin cups, gently pressing to form a bowl shape. Repeat with all tortillas, using additional muffin tins if needed.
Place the muffin tin(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overbake to avoid burning.
Remove the tortilla bowls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the tin before carefully removing them.
Once cooled, fill the tortilla bowls with your favorite taco salad ingredients, such as lettuce, seasoned meat, beans, cheese, salsa, and avocado.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, edible taco bowls!
