Cooking tortillas and preparing taco shells
To succeed in making your beef and melted cheese Tacos, it is crucial to cook your tortillas well and transform them into delicious taco shells:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (th.6).
- Then place the tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and heat them for a few minutes until they are lightly golden and crispy. However, be careful not to overcook them, as they need to remain flexible enough to be filled without breaking.
- As soon as they come out of the oven, quickly arrange the hot tortillas on a taco mold or, if you do not have one, drape them over the back of a muffin mold to give them the desired shape. Let the formed taco shells cool, then set them aside until you are ready to fill them.
