hey dudes I'm Hilah and today on Hilah
cooking we're talking about taco salad
everybody's favorite so I'm gonna show
you how to make some baked flour
tortilla shells and then give you some
ideas for how to repurpose anything in
your fridge literally almost anything
into a dinner that everyone will just
rave about it's amazing it's like a
magical magic trick so for the shells
which is the basis of this thing you can
use either either kind of tortilla that
you like I'm going to show you how to do
the burrito style first so you'll need a
big baking sheet and a couple of I'm
using these little Pyrex ramekins
oven-safe Bowl so most like dishware is
oven safe so it's kind of smallish bowl
shaped like that
we're gonna put them upside down you
know spritz a little oil and then you
just want to mash your tortilla and
it'll kind of naturally make a few folds
so just go with that wherever it
naturally wants to fold just let it be
man mould it around your bowl bulb mold
oh that sounded not appetizing sorry
just keep squishing it a little my
friend Emily loves taco salad so much
the fern birthday one year I made up a
name wrap for her and the first line was
eat it's for eating lots of taco salad
so that's how much she loves it and I
love you Emily okay then we're gonna
give a little spritz arewe to the
outside and then put these in a 375
degree oven for eight minutes now if you
want to use smaller to what he is if
that's what you have on hand and you
don't want to go out and buy a burrito
size the bowl method doesn't quite work
but this one does so in this case like
these tortillas are kind of stale anyway
you could really use anything I'm just
gonna do a little
on both sides and if your shorty azar
like mine and actually like SuperDuper
sale then you should microwave them
first to soften them up or they'll just
break so now there we go and if you were
using corn tortillas you could totally
do this too but also you'd want to kind
of get them softened up beforehand too
so there and then again 375 degree oven
for about 8 minutes so while those cook
you can get your top and ready basically
anything you might put on a taco is what
I called your cold toppings and then of
course some refried beans are the best
but you could use regular beans and then
I prepared several different fillings so
if you have some leftover chicken you
can saute it in a pan with some onions
some oregano maybe some tomatillos if
you have those maybe just some chopped
up diced fresh tomatoes if you have
those it's really any kind of vegetables
that you have that might add a little
bit of juice some salt and pepper once
it's heated up then you're ready to
serve that if you have some vegetarians
you can make a quick little vegetable
saute I did one here with onions
poblanos carrots some garlic fried up
some cumin seeds in the oil and that's
really great you could add corn you
could have zucchini any kind of
vegetables that you have laying around
in the fridge taking up space and
getting soggy stick them in there and
then finally of course beef taco filling
I just basically did the same recipe
that I do for crispy tacos or Mexican
pizza I mean I've done several different
versions of beef taco filling on the
show already so you can find one that
you like I'll put several down below but
this is just yeah onion garlic chili
powder beef a little oregano salt pepper
easy-peasy now once your shells have
baked for eight minutes we're going to
take them out carefully kind of flip
them off of the ramekins
stick them back in the oven for two
minutes just to make sure the inside
gets nice and crispy and then we'll be
ready to assemble two minutes later we
have these gorgeous crispy shells I'm
gonna take this one so what you do is
you layer some beans in the bottom
whatever kind of meat filling you want
or vegetable and then taco toppings so
let's do a little less a little jalapeno
tomato cilantro in case so all right
easiest type of haul in the world
because look you can put whatever you
want inside it all you need to do is
know how to make these cute little
shells and people will be wowed so this
recipe technique all the tips all the
printable recipe is at Hilah cooking
comms check that out I'm going to put a
little bit of salsa on this and dig in
