So only one wire was beneath each taco shell I was baking. We much prefer our taco shells to be narrow enough to bite into easily. When making a wider bottom to them the taco shells will actually stand on their own while you fill them.Īlthough I can see the convenience in that, to me they’re also harder to eat when the bottom is squared. I suppose you could lay each tortilla across two racks to try to make a wider taco shell.
I didn’t spray them with anything, I didn’t butter or oil them. (now’s the complicated part, y’all) I just laid each tortilla across a wire on the rack in my oven and closed the oven door. (UPDATE: I now make my own Corn Tortillas in minutes and for pennies!)I brought out the number of corn tortillas that I wanted to make into crispy taco shells. Corn Tortillas Into Crispy Taco Shellsįirst I bought a package of corn tortillas. Maybe I can make those crispy taco shells myself! Yes, yes I can. How I hate wasting money buying crispy taco shells. Plus more times than not they just taste stale to me. So many in the package will just be wasted.
Oh, and you have to buy 12 at a time, much more than RancherMan & I need. Plus several are often already broken in the package when I buy them. Now’s a perfect time to give ‘er a try! Crispy Taco Shells NeededĭANG I hate to buy crispy taco shells! They’re always so hard & brittle. Then I remembered something I’d read years ago about how to easily make taco shells as you need them. I like the many colors this will offer to our tacos tomorrow.īut what about those crispy shells? Will we have to go to the store and buy them? Ugh. I heaped in plenty of chunky onions and sliced red, yellow & green bell peppers. ( taps on noggin) See? Not just a hat rack, my friends!Īlong with my roast I cooked up the taco veggies at the same time. So I preplanned what would be added with the roast to be used for tomorrow’s supper. My planned leftovers idea was to enjoy roast & potatoes for supper that night, then make our favorite Carnitas Tacos with the leftovers the next night. Cooking is just not my favorite thing to do.
I’m always keeping my thoughts on how to simplify things in the kitchen. But ugh, I thought about the taco shells. The next day I’d planned to to turn some of that leftover roast into carnitas tacos. Since I often use the Cook-Once Eat Twice method I cooked a LOT of roast that night! That’s ok, I was cooking with planned leftovers in mind.
The other night I made a pork roast in my slow cooker. Check out this Homestead Hack for making your own lightly crispy (aka: not shatter-hard) taco shells. Do you hate to waste money on hard, stale taco shells? If you’ve got plain corn tortillas you can easily make them into the crispy taco shells you love.
