HOMEMADE TACO SHELLS #1
These are so good, you may NEVER buy taco shells again! But be prepared to be the last one to have a chance to sit down and eat. As soon as I sit down to eat my first taco, my guests are needing their 3rd or 4th or 5th one cooked...But, it is well worth it to hear that these are the best tacos they have ever had!

Steps:
- Preheat a dry skillet over medium/high heat.
- Mix the ingredients well.
- The batter will be runny.
- Drop by large utensil spoonful onto skillet, quickly spreading the batter in a circular motion, working from the inside out.
- Each side only takes about 1 minute of cooking.
- The shells are not supposed to brown.
- When the shells are removed from the pan, they can be molded into"taco shell shape" by placing, half-curled, between two objects, such as coffee cups.
- I like to serve them to each guest directly from the pan without molding them, however, becuz I find that they dont crack while still hot and pliable.
- Fill with all the taco stuffin's and enjoy!
PUFFY TACO SHELLS
I just don't get to San Antonio, home of the puffy taco, as much as I'd like to. So I tried to recreate it at home and it worked out great! Be sure you have the meat and fixings ready ahead of time so all you have to do is fry and fill! These work best when served as warm as possible.

Steps:
- Mix masa harina, salt, and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water together in a bowl using your fingertips until dough forms and pulls away from the sides, 2 or 3 minutes. Form into a firm, flattened ball and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Keep dough balls covered with a damp paper towel as you fry them, one at a time.
- Place dough ball between 2 sheets of plastic or a split open zip top bag. Flatten to form a small circle about 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, slide in the first circle. Very carefully baste hot oil over the top of the shell with a spoon to keep oil circulating over the top surface. When shell has puffed (after about 15 seconds), cook another few seconds and flip it over and cook another 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat for each shell.
- When shells are still warm and pliable, gently push down puffed tops to create room for the fillings and slightly crease the shells for folding.
- Fill with your favorite taco fixings and serve while shells are still warm.

Steps:
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Use tongs to place one tortilla at a time into the oil. It should start to sizzle right away. Cook for about 15 seconds, then flip over and fold the shell in half, holding in place with the tongs until crispy, about 15 seconds. You may need a little practice at first. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with salt while still hot. Use for tacos right away, or they may become chewy. Leftovers may be heated in the oven for crisping.

HOMEMADE TORTILLAS
I usually have to double this flour tortilla recipe because we go through them so quickly. The homemade tortillas are so tender and chewy, you'll never use store-bought again after learning how to make tortillas. -Kristin Van Dyken, Kennewick, Washington

ULTIMATE CHEWY TACO SHELLS
You'll never eat a regular taco shell again! So simple to make, and the taste and texture is out of this world!! Since the ingredients are minimal, it really is all about the technique. I prefer to use tongs that have the heat resistant silicone tips (not metal, they tend to break the shells). Shells come out crispy on the outside and chewy on the insdie. Fill with your favorite meat and toppings. I prefer plain old ground beef with taco seaoning, but have also made chicken. 6-8 shells works with about 1 lb. of meat (give or take, depending on how full you like your taco).

Steps:
- Heat about 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat in a 12 inch skillet.
- Once the oil is rippling, drop in the tortilla and flip immediately to ensure even coating of the oil on both sides.
- After about 30 seconds, bubbles will begin to form on the top. ( I usually break these with my tongs).
- Check the underside for desired crispiness, flip.
- Once the other side begins to brown/crisp, fold the tortilla into a taco shape, and contiue to cook for about 30 seconds longer.
- Drain on paper towels.

Steps:
- In a heavy-bottomed, straight-sided skillet, heat 1 inch vegetable oil over medium until it registers 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Add a corn tortilla and fry 15 seconds per side.
- Fold tortilla in half, pressing one side to bottom of skillet and holding other side up with tongs. Cook until crisp and golden, 15 to 30 seconds. Flip and repeat, pressing other side into oil.
- Drain on paper towels. Repeat to make as many shells as you like; a good rule of thumb is 2 tacos per person.

- 2) Add the warm water and give it a good stir or pulse for 10 seconds until you end up with a slightly sticky yellow dough ball.
- 3) Then transfer the dough to a floured surface, sprinkle with a little extra flour and knead the dough for a couple of seconds. Shape it into a ball and wrap it up in some cling film. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Then shape the dough into small balls. Roll them out on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin. Don’t make them too thin. Make sure the dough doesn’t stick to the surface. Then with a serving ring or glass cut out a neat circle.
- 4) Place the dough circles on some cling film. Gather the dough scraps and divide this into 2 balls. Make 2 more tacos. You should end up with 8 tacos. Place a non-stick pan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Don’t add any oil or butter. Place a dough circle in the hot pan and let it bake for a minute. Then flip it over using a spatula.
