Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked Tortilla Bowls.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab some flour tortillas and give both sides a light brush with vegetable oil.
Step 3
This will help them crisp up beautifully.
Step 4
Now, take a ramekin and flip it upside down on a clean surface.
Step 5
Place a tortilla right over the bottom of the ramekin and gently press it down around the sides, shaping it into a delightful little bowl.
Step 6
To keep the tortilla in place, cover it with a double layer of aluminum foil, pressing it snugly to form the bowl shape around the ramekin.
Step 7
Next, set the ramekin upright on a baking sheet, making sure about half an inch of the tortilla peeks out above the foil.
Step 8
This little bit of exposure will allow it to brown and get that perfect crunch.
Step 9
Repeat this fun process with your second tortilla.
Step 10
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the tortilla bowls bake for about 5 minutes.
Step 11
After that, carefully use tongs to lift the ramekins out of the shells and continue baking the tortilla bowls until they turn a lovely golden brown, which should take another 5 minutes.
Step 12
Once they’re lightly browned, gently peel away the foil.
Step 13
Flatten the foil sheets and turn the shells upside down onto them, wrapping the foil around the bottom to protect the tops.
Step 14
Return the shells to the oven and let them bake until they’re beautifully browned and crispy, which should take around 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 15
Keep an eye on them and flip the shells again for an additional 3 to 5 minutes to ensure they don’t burn.
Step 16
When they’re done, transfer your crispy tortilla bowls to a cooling rack and let them cool completely before serving.
Step 17
These delightful bowls are perfect for filling with your favorite toppings—enjoy every bite!.
