Diy Taco Salad Lunch Box Bowl Food

BUBBLY TACO SALAD BOWLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set 4 oven-safe cereal bowls on a large rimmed baking sheet. Then set a large 12-14 inch skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.
• Pour 1 tablespoon oil into the skillet. Once hot, place the tortilla in the skillet. Use tongs to swirl the tortilla to coat it in oil, flip it over, and swirl it again. It needs to be coated in oil, on both sides, right away.
• Pan-fry the tortilla for 30-45 seconds per side, allowing it to puff up with large bubbles. (The bigger the bubbles the better!) Flip and repeat. Make sure the tortilla isn't turning dark. It should be golden-brown.
• Use tongs to move the tortilla to one of the cereal bowls. Tuck it down into the bottom of the bowl, to create a bowl shape with the tortilla. Take care not to deflate the bubbles.
• Repeat with the remaining three tortillas. Once all the tortillas are flash-fried and shaped into bowls, bake for 9-10 minutes until very crispy. Cool and fill.

Place in an insulated food storage container to keep warm, or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve, and heat in microwave for 1 minute before placing in thermos.
• Place the lettuce, tomatoes and avocado in lunch box storage containers. Place the cheese and tortilla chips in separate containers. Make sure one of the containers is large enough to serve as the mixing and serving bowl.

HOMEMADE BAKED TORTILLA BOWLS FOR TACO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Spray both sides of tortilla with cooking spray. Press tortilla into a 1-quart oven-safe bowl to make taco salad shell shape. Pinch edges of tortilla and create folds, following the rim of your bowl.
• Place bowl on baking sheet. Bake on the middle or lower rack of the oven for 15-20 minutes, until edges are browned. (Bake on a lower rack in the oven so the edges don't brown too quickly.)
• Allow to cool to room temperature before filling with taco salad. (It will crisp up more as it cools.)
• Serve and enjoy!
• Yields 4 homemade baked tortilla bowls.
