Taco Salad Shells
Taco Tuesday, our first post. Taco Bowls courtesy of Food Network Kitchen. Filled with black beans and avocado
Make the tortilla bowls: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Put 4 empty cans (labels removed) or small ovenproof bowls upside down on a baking sheet. Drape a square of foil over each can and coat with cooking spray.
Fill a shallow bowl with 1/2 inch warm water; whisk in the olive oil. Soak each tortilla in the water until soft, about 5 seconds, then drape over the prepared cans, pleating as needed. Bake until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and invert the tortilla bowls onto the baking sheet; remove the cans and foil. Spray the inside of the tortilla bowls with cooking spray, season with salt and continue baking until crisp, 4 to 5 more minutes; let cool.
Fillings:
- cheese melted on the bowls
- black beans cooked with AZ Dreaming
- sauteed onions with Ancho Chili Powder
- cilantron-salsa-yogurt mix
