Today we had our April meet, ordering two variety plates which included mini-tortilla bowls filled with Spanish rice and refried beans, along with chicken or beef quesadillas, peppers, onions, sour cream and hot salsa. I love these monthly luncheons – mainly for the company of Sheila, but also because I love the food.
I’ve always wanted a recipe for making the little tortilla bowls (or the larger ones used for taco salads); I found the following at Low Sodium Cooking (not because of the salt issue, but because I couldn’t locate another recipe):

Lightly brush both sides of tortilla with oil. Fold the edges up and carefully press into an oven-proof soup bowl. Bake at 325° until crisp and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Other tortilla bowl preparation methods include:
The bowls can be filled with a variety of food items (as they were at the restaurant), and the larger tortillas can be used to hold salads or soups. Besides that, the bowls themselves are mighty tasty. Read/Post Comments (1) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
