How to make your own crispy tacos that stand up
For those of you who do not want to buy those hard taco shells here is a healthier way for you to make your own as well as to save some money.. Take tortilla wraps and put them in a damp towel in the microwave for about 30 seconds then unfold and spray or brush with some cooking oil and hang over the rack in your oven at a temparture of 375 for about 7 to 10 minutes until crispy..

Enjoy
Cheers
Judy
