Today: technique Tuesday. A how-to. An epiphanic tortilla tutorial.
Did you ever realize you can make your own hard taco shells with soft corn tortillas? Taco shells that are enormously more delicious than those cardboard boxed communion-wafers-of-cornmeal?
I just realized this.
Heat a 1/2 inch or so of oil in a low-sided skillet. With tongs, grab a tortilla. Hold half of the tortilla under the oil, folding the tortilla to begin forming the taco shell shape. When the first half is cooked, lift the tortilla from the oil. Grab the other half of the shell with your tongs and repeat with the uncooked side.
Let drain on paper towels. Fill with your favorite taco fillings.
