Preparation of the Tortilla Shell

Prepare the Flour Tortillas
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the flour tortillas and drape them over the back of an oven-safe bowl to create a tortilla bowl shape. Bake them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool.
