You don't need to buy that As-seen-on-TV thing...

...that turns tortillas into baked shells by putting them in those fancy baking cups.

You can achieve the same result by putting your tortillas into oven safe salad/cereal bowls or monkey bowls (for smaller shells). Grease the bowls first, pop your tortillas in (notice how the wavy pattern is achieved all by itself, without need for a "wavy" baking bowl) and bake at 350 until they are as golden as you'd like them to be (15 minutes for me). Remove, fill with dip, taco salad (the choices are endless!) and you have saved yourself $19.99 plus shipping and handling!

Good tip Inlharper. There are so many things on the market that you really do not need to be spending money on. I made a delicious tortilla yesterday. I put mayo on it, then lettuce, tomato, green onion, slices of cheese, cucumber and I cut up a chicken Kiev, and rolled it up. It was so good. Next time I make it I am going to use your tip. Thanks
