Store-bought tortilla bowls are usually deep-fried. For a healthier version, we bake corn tortillas on the underside of a muffin tin until they're crispy. The first step is to heat the corn tortillas until they're warm. Warming tortillas makes them pliable and prevents them from cracking and breaking. You can warm tortillas in the oven, on the stove or in the microwave. How Do You Use Tortilla Bowls? Make taco bowls for a healthy and fun way to serve taco filling! Try our Chicken Taco Bowls, which are filled with a zesty green salsa chicken filling. Fill the tortilla bowls with Taco Salad, make Chipotle-Lime Cauliflower Taco bowls or High-Protein Breakfast Taco bowls. For shrimp taco bowls, try our Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Crema recipe, and check out more healthy taco recipes for further inspiration. Can Tortilla Bowls Be Made Ahead? Yes, you can make them ahead and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Warm and re-crisp them in the oven at 375°F before using.
