I just made these. They are wonderful and way better than the store bought tortilla bowls. Although they are baked, they still come out crispy. I baked my on some ceramic dinner bowls instead of a can. I also sprinkled some salt, garlic powder, and chili powder to the tortillas before I baked them. They were absolutely delicious.

I love this!!!! I have always bought those expensive ones that come in a box and then you bake them. We liked them but this we liked just as well if not better and it is soooo much more economical. This is very easy too. I will do this from now on, thank you so much for sharing this with us.

I have two metal bowls that I used instead of empty tins cans. One I covered the outside with tin foil (and sprayed with cooking spray) and placed upside down on a baking sheet. After dipping a tortilla (and yes, it surprised me but the dipping is necessary), I draped it on top of this bowl, and baked it. When it came out of the oven, I flipped it into the other bowl and returned for the rest of the baking. These turned out nicely shaped and crunchy, I served a salad topped with chili and cheese in them. Next time as a variation, I may try adding a bit of some sort of flavouring to the dipping liquid as an extra touch, like a bit of garlic powder if it's to go with caesar salad...

Excellent Recipe! I followed the process exactly. After baking the bowls, I immediately brushed with melted butter on the inside of the bowls and sprinkled a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar mixed together. I then used these as the bowls for the fried ice cream I served to my dinner guests. There were very impressed! Thanks for sharing! Marianne
