Ingredients

  • 2 extra large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons of neutral oil
  • garlic powder to taste
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Pour ½ tablespoon of oil in the middle of the tortilla. To the oil, sprinkle some garlic powder and salt. Using your hands or a cooking brush, spread the oil and garlic salt all over the tortilla. Flip and repeat the process. (I used parchment paper to work on)
  3. Grab an oven-safe bowl that fits the tortilla. Slowly put the oiled tortilla in the bowl and gently start making small folds so the tortilla doesn’t break and has wavy edges (see photo for reference).
  4. Place the bowl on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden.
  5. When ready, carefully remove from the oven and remove the tortilla from the bowl. Place it on a cooling rack. It will get soggy if you leave it in the bowl to cool down.
  6. Fill with Taco-Salad and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a fairly deep bowl: Shallow, wide bowls won’t help the flour tortilla bowls hold their shape while they bake. For the best results, use an oven-safe deep bowl.
  • Fold the tortilla carefully: To fit it into the bowl, you’ll need to fold the edges. Be careful, though, as it can tear if done in a hurry.
  • Leave them to cool: They will harden as they cool. They must also be thoroughly cool if you want to store any for later. Otherwise, steam keeps them from hardening.
  • Experiment with flavors: Replace or add to the garlic powder with other options like smoked paprika, ground cumin, taco seasoning, lime juice, Italian seasoning, etc. You can also experiment with flavored tortillas, like spinach or beet tortillas.
