Homemade Soft Taco Shells

Submitted by Wendelina

"Delicious corn tortilla shells for tacos. White corn works best, but either can be used! These are a mild flavored shell that lets the flavor of your other ingredients shine."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1⁄2 cup cornmeal
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 1⁄2 cups cold water

directions

1. Combine all ingredients and beat until smooth.
2. Fry slowly on a griddle or in large frypan in small amounts of cooking oil. Using a ladle, pour and swirl into a desired size circle. Let fry until the top is dry, then flip for a minute or so to set the other side. If they turn out like crepes, make the shells thicker.
3. Fill with your favorite ingredients. We use seasoned hamburger, tomato, onion, lettuce, cheese, green peppers, olives.

YUK! I just threw these all out. Poor flavor and more crepe like than anything. Sorry, I really wanted to like and use these but I really don't like them. Thanks anyway

These were tastier and more tender than store bought. Even my picky 13 yr. old loved them.
