Homemade tortilla bowl recipe
8-inch flour tortillas
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray the inside of oven-safe bowls with cooking spray. Press one tortilla into each bowl, folding where needed to lay flat against the side of the bowl. Place bowls on a sheet pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until tortillas are a light to medium brown. Remove from oven and allow tortillas to cool in bowls for 5 minutes before removing.
