Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (8-10 inch)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly brush each tortilla with olive oil or spray with cooking spray on both sides. This will help them crisp up during baking.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of salt evenly over the tortillas for extra flavor.
Find oven-safe bowls or ramekins that are about 5-6 inches in diameter. They will act as the molds for shaping the tortilla bowls.
Flip the bowls upside down on a baking sheet. Drape one tortilla over each bowl, pressing it gently around the edges to form the bowl shape. The tortilla should mimic the shape of the inverted bowl.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp. Check them around the 10-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tortillas cool for a couple of minutes while still on the bowls. This will help them retain their shape.
Once slightly cooled, gently lift the tortilla bowls off the molds. Handle them carefully as they may be fragile.
Your tortilla salad bowl shells are now ready to serve! Fill them with your favorite salad, taco fillings, or dips, and enjoy.
