Taco Salads


The best thing about ordering a taco salad out is the crispy fried shell. However, it's not that good for you. Go figure... Anyway, I have found the solution!! I made my own crunchy taco shell 'bowl' and got all the satisfaction of a restaurant meal.

Here's what you need...
an empty tin can, rinsed and the paper removed
a tortilla
a baking sheet

Here's what you do...

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line your baking sheet with parchment or foil, if you'd like to. Place the tin can upside down on the baking sheet.

Microwave your tortilla for 10 seconds or so until its very pliable (read: bendy). Lay the tortilla on top of the can and sorta wrap it around the can. It won't stay put but you'll get a nice taco shell shape.


Bake for 10-15 minutes until crispy, not burnt so keep an eye on it. Enjoy!
