Make Your Own Taco Bowls With A Muffin Tin

Emily Bites has a tip for making your own Taco Bowls with a muffin tin. The trick is to turn the muffin tin over and use the backside to cook the bowls in. The 6-inch tortillas form mini-bowls that way. From the site:

Sprinkle each tortilla lightly with water and stack them on a plate. Cover the top with another plate turned upside down and microwave the tortillas for 1 minute or until warm. Turn two 12 cup muffin pans upside down. Mist each side of a tortilla lightly with cooking spray and center it in the space between 4 muffin cups, creating a bowl. Repeat with the 5 remaining tortillas, forming 3 bowls on each tin (as pictured above). Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
Once you have the taco bowls, you can fill them with vegetables, ground beef, shredded cheese, and other ingredients for your own taco salads.

First, let me begin this comment by saying that I truly love to cook/bake. Some would say that I have a fascination w/ recipes after seeing my collection of books, magazines as well as the many strays that I collect along the way from family and sites such as this. Now, w/ that being said, I based my grocery shopping around several recipes posted on this site.. these Taco Bowls were the first on the recipe list and I fed nine people by adding refried beans and my spicy rice (which is only termed that because of the taco seasoning, usually made w/ a beef or chicken to fill soft taco's.) They were a huge hit! I love this site! I have since made the Loaded Potato and Buffalo Chicken Casserole (which was also a huge hit for my family of 4/5. I halved the spices and hot sauce so that the childrena and I could tolerate it and it was perfect) and tonight it's Breakfast in the Crockpot :)
