HOMEMADE TACO SHELLS #1



Homemade Taco Shells #1 image

These are so good, you may NEVER buy taco shells again! But be prepared to be the last one to have a chance to sit down and eat. As soon as I sit down to eat my first taco, my guests are needing their 3rd or 4th or 5th one cooked...But, it is well worth it to hear that these are the best tacos they have ever had!

Time 22m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup flour
1/2 cup yellow enriched cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat a dry skillet over medium/high heat.
  • Mix the ingredients well.
  • The batter will be runny.
  • Drop by large utensil spoonful onto skillet, quickly spreading the batter in a circular motion, working from the inside out.
  • Each side only takes about 1 minute of cooking.
  • The shells are not supposed to brown.
  • When the shells are removed from the pan, they can be molded into"taco shell shape" by placing, half-curled, between two objects, such as coffee cups.
  • I like to serve them to each guest directly from the pan without molding them, however, becuz I find that they dont crack while still hot and pliable.
  • Fill with all the taco stuffin's and enjoy!

Don't expect a tortilla when you make this recipe. Thin like a tortilla, but way better in flavor. Never buy taco shells from the store again. My grandma used to make these all the time.

HARD TACO SHELLS



Hard Taco Shells image

Home made crunchy taco shells are excellent! Use home made tortillas, or corn tortillas from the store.

Provided by TINKERBELL4

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 (12 ounce) package corn tortillas
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Use tongs to place one tortilla at a time into the oil. It should start to sizzle right away. Cook for about 15 seconds, then flip over and fold the shell in half, holding in place with the tongs until crispy, about 15 seconds. You may need a little practice at first. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with salt while still hot. Use for tacos right away, or they may become chewy. Leftovers may be heated in the oven for crisping.
