Crispy Taco Shells

Ingredients:


  • 12   6-inch corn tortillas
  • Canola oil cooking spray
  • 3/4 teaspoon  chili powder, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon  salt, divided


Directions:
  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F .
    2. Wrap 4 tortillas in a barely damp cloth or paper towel and microwave on High until steamed, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively, wrap in foil and heat in the preheated oven until steaming, 5 to 7 minutes.) Coat both sides with cooking spray; sprinkle a little chili powder and salt on one side.
    3. Drape each tortilla over a panel on a baked-taco rack and bake until crispy and brown, 7 to 10 minutes. (Or see Kitchen Tip.)
    4. Remove the shells from the rack and repeat Steps 2 and 3 with the remaining 8 tortillas.
    Tips:
    Working with 6 tortillas at a time, wrap in a barely damp cloth or paper towel and microwave on High until steamed, about 30 seconds. Lay the tortillas on a clean work surface and coat both sides with cooking spray. Then carefully drape each tortilla over two bars of the oven rack. Bake at 375 degrees F until crispy, 7 to 10 minutes.
    MAKE AHEAD TIP: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat at 375 degrees F for 1 to 2 minutes before serving. | Equipment: Baked-taco rack
