  1. INSTRUCTIONS
  2. If making taco bowls:
  3. Preheat oven to 375F.
  4. Microwave wraps about 10 seconds, until slightly warm and pliable.
  5. If using a muffin tin: Flip a clean, jumbo-sized muffin tin upside down and cradle a tortilla in the center of four of the inverted cups.
  6. Gently press down to form a “bowl” out of the tortilla shell -- make sure the edges are curved upwards, as in the photos above.
  7. If using ovenproof bowls -- (I used 2 cup-sized ovensafe Pyrex bowls): Lightly spray insides of bowls with cooking spray.
  8. Gently fold a tortilla into the bowl, creasing the sides as needed to make a bowl shape.
  9. Bake on 375F for 13 minutes (be careful, the muffin tin/bowls will be very hot!), or until tortillas are slightly browned.
  10. While the tortilla shells are cooking, cook, brown, drain, and season your ground beef according to instructions on taco seasoning packet.
  11. Chop your lettuce and tomato and prepare your toppings.
  12. Once taco bowls are done cooking, fill taco bowls ¾ of the way full with lettuce and tomato.
  13. Top with prepared ground beef, and then top with desired toppings (sour cream, salsa, taco cheese and cilantro are recommended!).
