Hard Taco Shells

Hard Taco Shells

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.
