Homemade taco shells are crunchy and taste excellent! Use homemade tortillas or store-bought corn tortillas. You may need a little practice at first. Fill and serve tacos right after frying, or they may become chewy. Leftovers may be heated in the oven for crisping.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 1 (12 ounce) package corn tortillas
- salt to taste

Step 1
Fill a heavy skillet with 1-inch-deep oil over medium heat; heat to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Step 2
