Description

Why settle for stale in-the-box taco shells when you can bake your own?

Ingredients

  • 12 pieces Corn Tortillas
  • Canola Cooking Spray
  • ¾ teaspoons Chili Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Put 4-6 tortillas on a microwave safe plate and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 30 seconds.

Coat both sides with cooking spray. Sprinkle a little bit of chili powder and salt on one side.

Open the oven door and using an oven mitt, pull out the oven rack. Drape each tortilla over the rungs of the rack, forming an upside down “shell.” Close the oven and bake for 7–10 minutes or till desired crispiness.

Repeat with remaining tortilla shells. Fill as desired and serve.

I had doubts as to how good these would be because they aren’t fried. Boy was I wrong! These are so good and so easy to make. I love the crispy, crunchy taco shell without the grease. Love them!!
