- corn tortillas
- frying pan or griddle
- non-stick spray
- muffin tins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

On a medium heat, allow the tortilla to just get warm (about 5-10 seconds) and flip.

Flip the tortilla and heat the other side (about 5-10 seconds)

Tip: both sides of the tortilla need to be sprayed with non-stick spray. After you flip, you can spray a little on the top.

Take the tortilla and remove it using a spatula. You will want to flip it onto the muffin tin, turned upside down, into the open space between four cups.

While still hot, press into the space between the cups. It should be evenly opened.

After forming the shell, spray this side of the shell lightly.

Repeat filing the pan with more shells.

Place the tins inside the oven for about ten minutes. Keep a watch on them so they don't burn. You want them to cook just before turning brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Stuff with taco meat, lettuce, cheese, salsa, sour cream, etc.

Any leftovers can be stored in an air right container or large freezer ziploc bag.
