Impress dinner guests with such little efforts and perfect for Cinco De Mayo or because it's a fun way to serve these on Taco Tuesday.
We love a little American-Mexican fun food to enjoy.

Fill them with whatever you like, lettuce, tomatoes, chopped with refried beans meat and so much more.
You can use seasoned chicken, steak, shredded pork, or none at all and go all vegetarian.
These fun bowls are done in no time and you can either buy these molds that come in a pack of 4 or just use what deep pretty pan you have to change the shape of your tortilla.
Simple delicious and fun in minutes and they do make a fun presentation serving an easy salad meal.

Taco Tuesday Parties
I like to set up a salad bar for everyone to build their own bowls.
I have several containers on ice that everyone can build their own salad.
Cooked meats, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, shredded cheese, taco sauce are just a few ingredients we love on ours.
If you love tacos your family is going to love this easy recipe and a great way to get them to eat salad if they're picky eaters.
Use any kind of fluted tins
Cupcake tins ( place over the back of the tin to create smaller bowls), extra-large muffin tins, taco tins, or an ovenproof bowl using the shell on the outside of the bowl then baked.
Using the cupcake tins, you will have to cut to fit each one and you will have mini appetizer bowls.
Perfect for a party and individual servings!
