Time 22m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup flour
1/2 cup yellow enriched cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat a dry skillet over medium/high heat.
  • Mix the ingredients well.
  • The batter will be runny.
  • Drop by large utensil spoonful onto skillet, quickly spreading the batter in a circular motion, working from the inside out.
  • Each side only takes about 1 minute of cooking.
  • The shells are not supposed to brown.
  • When the shells are removed from the pan, they can be molded into"taco shell shape" by placing, half-curled, between two objects, such as coffee cups.
  • I like to serve them to each guest directly from the pan without molding them, however, becuz I find that they dont crack while still hot and pliable.
  • Fill with all the taco stuffin's and enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 piece aluminum foil (12-inch)
warm water
1/4 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • If using 10-inch tortillas, set 2 empty food cans 3 to 4 inches apart on a 14x17-inch foil lined baking sheet.
  • If using 12 or 13-inch tortillas, set 1 food can on baking sheet.
  • Drape a foil square over the top of each can.
  • Fill a pizza pan (one that's at least 3/4-inch deep) or another appropriately rimmed container with about 1/2 inch of warm water; add 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil.
  • Quickly immerse a tortilla in the water, then lift out and let drain.
  • Drape the damp tortilla over the foil on the empty food can (if you place it slightly off-center the shell with have a dramatic higher flair to one edge).
  • If you have room on the pan for another tortilla, add another 1/4 teaspoon oil to the water, dip a tortilla, and drape it over the other can.
  • Bake the taco salad shells in a preheated 450 degree F oven until they're lightly brown and firm enough to hold their shape, which will take about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Using pot holders, carefully lift the shells off the cans and place them cup-side-up on the pan; the edges on larger tortillas might need support when the shells are inverted so loosely crumple some foil into 4-inch balls and push them against areas that sag.
  • Return the shells to the oven and bake until they're crisp, about 2 to 3 additional minutes.
  • Let cool on rack.
  • Repeat all steps until you have enough shell bowls for your meal.
  • Enjoy!
