The Best Tortilla Bowls are first pan-fried and then baked. This ensures a crisp and bubbly shell that tastes wonderful. If you’ve made your own Hard Taco Shells before, you already know how good these will be.

Enjoying a Taco Salad in these Crispy Taco Salad Shells is an adventure. It feels like a dish straight from a Mexican restaurant and definitely elevates Taco Tuesday!

Ingredients

  • Flour Tortillas – We use large 10-inch flour tortillas to create spacious bowls. You can try Homemade Flour Tortillas or use store-bought ones if you’re in a hurry.
  • Oil – use high-heat cooking oil. Our preferred choice is extra light olive oil (not extra virgin), or you can opt for Canola oil.
  • Salt – a light sprinkle of salt enhances the taco shells’ flavor, but it’s optional. If you’re filling the shells with salad and dressing, you might not need extra salt.

Pro Tip: If you want to make smaller bowls, you can use smaller tortillas. For single-serve mini tortilla bowls, get the smallest tortilla size and shape them in muffin tins for perfect appetizers!

How to Make Tortilla Bowls

  • Prep – Preheat your oven to 350˚F with a rack in the center and arrange your oven-safe bowls on a baking sheet, so they’re ready when the tortillas finish frying.
  • Fry Tortillas – Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a skillet and fry the tortillas for 30-45 seconds per side or until they turn golden brown in spots. This process happens quickly, so stay attentive to prevent burning. Fry the tortillas one at a time and add more oil as needed.
  • Mold Tortillas – Right after frying, use tongs to transfer the tortillas to your prepared bowls and press them down in the center to shape them. A soup ladle works well for this purpose.
  • Bake Tortilla Bowls – Once all your taco salad bowls are shaped, bake them in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until they become crispy and golden brown. Then, transfer the bowls to a wire rack to cool before serving (see serving suggestions below).

Common Questions

How to eat a tortilla bowl?

The tortilla shell serves as a bowl, but I always set it over a dinner plate to catch any leaks and make it easier to transport. The shell is also meant to be eaten along with the salad. I like to break off the edges and enjoy it with bites of salad.
