Taco Shells Recipes

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!

Steps:

• Drape tortillas over individual rungs on oven rack.
• Bake at 400 degrees until crisp (approximately 5 minutes.).
• Carefully remove the taco shells and allow to cool.

Steps:

• Mix ingredients together and roll 1-2 tbsps of mixture on a floured surface.
• Fry in hot dry pan (for tacos) or hot oil (for taco salad).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together till smooth.
• Heat frying pan greased with oil.
• Pour 1/4 cup batter in pan, rotate pan, remove when cooked.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap a yardstick or ruler with aluminum foil and suspend it between two 28-ounce cans.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded Cheddar on the baking sheet to form a circle 6 inches in diameter. Repeat with another 1/2 cup of cheese, making 2 circles. Bake the first batch until the cheese melts and turns light brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Using a spatula, transfer the cheese circles to the suspended yardstick and drape them over to form taco shells. Let them hang until firm, then carefully remove. Repeat with the remaining cheese.
• Fill the shells with your favorite taco fillings.

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.

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.
