"I was tired of buying expensive scalloped edge tortilla bowls for salads. I decided to buy or make tortilla and form my own shells. So easy you would believe it!"

I wanted a quick, easy shell for taco salad. Wow! This was so easy and great tasting too. All my guests raved about the great texture and crunch of the shell. Thank you so much!

What a great idea! I love salads in tortilla bowls but if I miss picking them up when in the city there has to be a change of plans .. til now ... the tortillas are readily available and the bowls so easy to make. I made as written and I was very impressed with the results. Recipe already in my cookbook! Thank you for sharing.

This was easy and delicious. What I like is that you don't have to make them until you need them & until then - - no storage space wasted....thanks.
