Simple Tortilla Bowl for Taco Salad

Submitted by No-Brussel-Sprouts

"Like most foods, I suspect this would probably taste better if it were deep fried, or slathered in oil or butter - but if that's not an option for you, here's a simple way to make individual serving bowls for your taco salad. You'll need a non-stick frying pan and two bowls that fit snugly together, the larger bowl will dictate the size of your tortilla bowl."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 2
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 flour tortillas (or 1 for each serving)
• 1 dash salt

directions

1. Heat non-stick frying pan to medium high.
2. Brown 1 tortilla on both sides, keep it moving or it will burn. If you get bubbles press the tortilla down with a spatula, just remember: keep it moving!
3. Sprinkle with a little salt for flavour once tortillas are warm.
4. When both sides are covered in brown spots (less than a minute per side on my stove) remove from pan and put in large bowl. Shape by putting smaller bowl on top. Be gentle or it will crack.
5. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
6. Use immediately. I recommend filling them with Paula Deen's Taco Salad recipe #141195.

What a great idea! I only had 8" tortillas and I think this would be even better with the large "burrito"-size ones. I forgot the salt but didn't miss it; after adding salad and vinaigrette (I didn't use for taco salad, just a "regular" salad), the tortilla bowl was seasoned enough for me. This is a recipe I will be utilizing over and over! Thanks for sharing!

Easy and good...I added a sprinkling of garlic powder, too. Been stickin' to my diet. I fear I may give the term 'skinny' a whole new zipcode. Made for Alphabet Soup Tag.

Simply amazing!!!! I can't believe how simple, quick and effective this easy recipe works! I didn't really make it to use it for anything special...but was thinking that it would even make a plain old dinner salad seem special...especially for those trying to watch their calories. No added fat at all! Worked very very well. I will certainly make these again in the future. I only had the 12" tortillas but bet the 14" ones would be even better! Those big ones meant to use for burritoes would even make a lovely centerpiece filled with tortilla chips for guests! Made for Spring PAC 2010.

I've never made taco salad bowls because I thought there were difficult. No more store bought bowls for me. This was quick and easy - delicious. Thank you for posting.

Who knew making taco bowls was so easy? I didn't. I really appreciate this a lot! Now that I know how to do it, I will never have to buy premade ones again. I always have flour tortillas!
