Introduction: Easy Baked Taco Salad Shells
Ever wanted taco salad, but just didn't want to go to the store to get taco salad shells?
I have. Especially because where I live there seems to be no taco salad shells ANYWHERE to be found.
Luckily, they are EASY PEASY to make!
Here's What You'll Need
Medium sized tortillas (this is a great recipe for those older tortillas laying around)
Cooking Spray
Muffin Tin!
Step 1: Preheat
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Place your muffin pan in the oven upside down for about 5 minutes, just long enough to warm up the pan.
Step 2: Make the Shells
Spray the bottom of your muffin pan and while it is still warm, gently press your tortillas into the areas between muffin wells.
You should have a flat square/diamond shape and creases where your tortilla bends between the wells.
Bake at 375 degrees for 5-8 minutes, until the tortilla is crispy and holds its shape.
Step 3: Fill Them Up!
Now you can use your delicious taco shells to make an AWESOME taco salad!
These things will hold quite a bit of delicious fillings, so pile them on high!
Queso, beef, lettuce, tomato, onion...the whole nine yards!

Very Cool. We have non-stick pans that do the same thing, but this is a really inventive idea.

Excellent ideaI passed it along to daughter. I like the minimalist approach.
If you are NOT indian or Pakistani and can figure out how to make something like chapati's , Id like to hear about it.
I can't justify buying special flour . The point is, simple flatbreads are good and we would benefit from learning about them. Thanks again

What is in it? Cheese and pieces of bacon?

Browned beef (seasoned with Lawrys Seasoning Salt - I don't like spicy beef), chopped lettuce, tomato, and onion.
All under a pile of queso!

I agree with Penolopy! All we need now is a recipe for what you put in the shells. Looks great!
