Crunchy Taco Baskets

  • Eight Corn Tortillas
  • Olive Oil Spray
  • 2 (12 Hole) Muffin Tins

Preheat oven to 375F. Heat the tortillas until warm by placing in a kitchen towel and microwaving for 30 seconds). Coat each side of 4 tortillas with olive oil spray. (Keep the remaining 4 tortillas covered.) Turn a 12-cup muffin tin upside down. Nestle a tortilla in the space between 4 cups to form a "bowl." Repeat with 3 more tortillas, making 4 bowls total. Bake until firm and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining 4 tortillas. 

What to Drink with Tacos?

Vinho Verde works perfectly with the light fillings of our tacos! What you do get for very little money is an incredibly zippy young sparkler with lazier bubbles than a sparkler, with some fresh green and citrus notes. A bonus? Its low in alcohol so its tastes crisp, refreshing and light!
