Turning Corn Tortillas Into Taco Shells

Step 1

Heat oil over medium heat in a skillet.

Step 2

Carefully add half of the tortilla (folded into a taco shape) and fry until golden (you will need to hold up the tortilla half the entire time.).

Step 3

Using tongs, carefully flip the tortilla to fry the other side until golden (continue holding the free edge to maintain the shape).

Step 4

Remove from skillet and balance the shell (Teepee style) on a paper towel until set.

Step 5

Repeat, placing each made taco shell on top of the last to drain oil and set.

Step 6

After they are all set, you can pile on the taco goods and enjoy!
