“I've always made my taco shells at home. One trick I learned is to always use corn oil for frying corn tortillas. It makes a significant difference. I fry 12 tortillas and then go back to fill them, they stay nice and warm/pliable and my husband LOVES them.” — a cook, 5★
“I despise those store-bought packets of "I don't really know what's in there" so I whipped up these ingredients last night and made Taco Quesadillas -- they were fabulous! Thanks for sharing your recipe.” — a cook, 5★
