I'm Belizean, and my family's been making these for generations. Just a little tip on making the shape better. Hold the taco in the upright "U" position with the flat base in the oil for a few seconds until it keeps its shape, and then proceed with frying both sides. That way the base is more stable, and wider so it can hold more filling. 🥰👍

I appreciate your kind words. I don’t have a recope for they yet, I just have the pita bread recipe natashaskitchen.com/pita-bread-recipe/

I always fry my flour/corn tortillas for tacos like my mother did. Sometimes I just fry tortillas and salt them for a snack. We make our own chips too with corn tortillas and use jalapeño salt on them or some Lowreys season salt. Yum.

When we moved from Cali to Boston. I was shocked that Mexican restaurants served store bought shells 🙄 been making these at home since then.

We've been making our taco shells for decades. Nothing new about this, we never buy taco shells!!

My favorite taco place, a small mom and pop dive, has been doing this for 70 years. People literally drive more than 150 miles to eat their tacos. 😂

Yeah, I intentionally left out the name because probably everybody on KZread will never go there. If you're really interested. The restaurant is called Snack Shack, located in Belton, Missouri (a burb of Kansas City.) They really exist. Look them up and read their reviews. Everyone raves about their tacos and gives them 5 stars.

Fresh is so nice.

Cooked perfect my mother fried flour and my mother in law taught me how to fry the corn.

Another tip is we use this cilantro lime seasoning we got a the dollar tree to sprinkle on the shells instead of salt. Total game changer! Also, we use beef tallow instead of oil. Its what McDonald's used to use to fry their fries way way way back in the day when they were so good.

simple and better than store bought!

Measuring the temperature of the oil was such a gringo thing, a real Mexican who actually knows how to cook would try it with their hand

Yes they are. 👍🏻

She hit the nail on the head! 👍🏿

My mom taught her kids (yes, even the boys) how to make taco shells but we do it with 2 extra steps. We lightly heat up the tort over the burner, add the meat then place them in the pan with oil. No salt added because the meat is already seasoned. I've made them your way too but I found that depending on how hard they're fried they too can break as you're trying to fill them. To each their own... 🤷‍♀️😉

I normally spray flour tortillas with olive oil and hang on the eack in the oven. Takes forever. This way is faster and less use of the oven. Once again, you are awesome. I do have a question. What kind of pans do you use?

WOW 😳 Awesome 💓 I'm making These 😁

Ikr, I was like, “why would you want your tacos to taste like restaurant?”

If you want them hot, put the food in them while frying them and only use enough oil for each one at a time. Fewer burns on your hands with less oil too.

Please tell us about your frying pans? Where did you get it from?

Unless you make the tortillas from scratch, I think crunchy is way better. I don’t know how to make tortillas from scratch. Mexican food is easy to make but not if you want it to be authentic. It looks easy but actually takes a lot of skill. It might taste good, but it won’t be authentic.

I'm from San Diego. We had the Best Mexican food in the country! We moved to Minnesota where the best "Mexican" food was Taco Bell! Oh, I miss good Mexican food! My grandkids want flour tortillas for tacos. NOOOOO! CORN IS AUTHENTIC FOR TACOS! We used to buy several kilos of freshly made corn and flour tortillas when we'd go to Tijuana. Oh they were so good! We'd eat them in the car on the drive home. There's more choices here now, but it's still nowhere near the good we got in Southern Cali.
