These [[Tortilla pots|tortilla pots]], [[Tortilla|tortilla]] baskets are easy to prepare and make fantastic edible bowls which enhances the appearance (and taste) of any meal.

This cooking process works just as well with soft [[Flour|flour]] [[Wheat|wheat]] [[Flour tortilla|flour tortilla]] wraps as it does with soft [[Yellow cornmeal|yellow cornmeal]] [[Tortilla|tortilla]] wraps.

The idea is really simple, [[Spray|spray]] or [[Brush|brush]] the [[Tortilla|tortilla]], shape it into a greased bowl and back it in the [[Oven|oven]]. This hardens it an turns it into a large crispy edible [[Taco|taco]]!

You must use an [[Oven|oven]]-proof bowl and you may have to experiment to find the bowl that produces the best shape. I've found that a small and a medium [[Glass|glass]] pyrex bowl work really well.

Fill them with the food of your choice, you'll find them to be much stronger than you might imagine.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 1 pack of soft [[Wheat|wheat]] [[Flour tortilla|flour tortilla]] wraps or soft [[Cornmeal|cornmeal]] [[Tortilla|tortilla]] wraps.
| [[Olive oil]] for spraying for [[Brushing|brushing]]
}}
===[[Mise en place]]===

* Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to 200° C (400° F - gas 6), [fan oven 180° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour]

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Lightly [[Spray|spray]] or [[Brush|brush]] your [[Oven|oven]]-proof bowls so the [[Tortilla|tortilla]] wrap doesn't stick once it has been [[Baked|baked]].
| Lightly [[Spray|spray]] the top surface of the [[Tortilla|tortilla]] with a little [[Olive oil|olive oil]], not too much.
| Push the [[Tortilla|tortilla]] into your bowl so it makes a 'useful' shape.
| [[Bake]] the [[Tortillas|tortillas]], in the bowls for 6 minutes or until they start to colour.
| Watch them closely as the time between [[Browning|browning]] and burning is really short!
| Carefully remove the bowls from the [[Oven|oven]] and invert them over [[Paper towels|paper towels]] and knock the shaped [[Tortilla|tortilla]] out onto the paper towels.
| They remain soft and pliable while they are still hot so leave them upside down for 15 minutes or so to cool and harden, ready for use.
| If like me, you don't have enough bowls, you can make these in batches, they keep pretty well for a day or so.
