Crispy Basket Burritos (Baked Tortilla Bowls)

Crispy Basket Burritos (Baked Tortilla Bowls)

Crispy tortilla bowls are easy to make at home! Fill them with all your favorite burrito fillings or a taco salad. The baked tortilla shells are crispy and not as greasy as deep-fried ones. Just be careful not to burn them when trying to get the inside bottom crispy.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 oven-safe ramekins, about 4 inches in diameter
  • Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2
Brush oil on both sides of tortillas.

Step 3
Invert ramekin on a work surface. Center tortilla over bottom of the ramekin; gently shape tortilla down around sides.

Step 4
Place a double layer of aluminum foil over tortilla and press to form a bowl around the ramekin.

Step 5
Place right-side-up on a baking sheet. Leave about 1/2-inch of tortilla exposed above foil, so it gets browned and crispy when baked. Repeat this step with second tortilla.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Use tongs to remove the ramekins from shells. Continue baking shells until lightly browned, about 5 more minutes.

Step 7
Carefully remove foil from around shells. Flatten foil sheets and invert shells on them. Bring foil up just around bottom of shells to protect top edge.

Step 8
Bake shells until browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Invert shells and continue baking until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch them carefully, so they don't burn.

Step 9
Transfer basket burritos to a rack to cool completely.

Step 10
Enjoy!

Chef’s Note:

The diameter of the ramekins should be about half that of the tortillas. I used 4-inch ramekins for 8-inch tortillas.
