Traditionally, the taco salad is served In a crispy edible bowl. This creates some complications for a home cook. The ultimate taco salad bowl is freshly deep fried and requires a lot of preparation.

  2. 1 eachPyrex measuring cup

Cooking Instructions

20 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Turn your measuring cup upside down. Lay a tortilla on top. Pinch the tortilla at intervals, surrounding the base of the inverted measuring cup as shown, until you're satisfied with the pleating.

  3. 3

    If you don't have a Pyrex measuring cup, you can use any oven-safe dish of a similar size and shape.

  4. 4

    Place the assembly (measuring cup and all) into the preheated oven. Bake for 8 minutes.

  5. 5

    Carefully remove the whole shebang. Peel the tortilla gently from the top of the measuring cup (fresh tortillas may stick a little). Return the tortilla to the oven without the measuring cup. Bake for another 4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Flip the tortilla upside down. Bake 4 minutes longer.

  7. 7

    You should have a nice, golden toast on both sides of the tortilla.
