Description

It was many years ago when I ate my first Tortilla Shell bowl.  It was when I worked at Taco Bell.  I fell in love with it instantly.  I was able to have a variety of salads all week long and then eat the bowl as well.  I could have Beef, Chicken, Taco Hamburger meat or just a vegetarian Salad. 

Those tortilla shells were deep fried.  Deep Frying made them very crispy and tasty but not very healthy.  These tortilla  bowls could also be made in an oven.  I found that they were a bit too hard from baking them.  Finally along came the Air Fryer.  The perfect equipment tool to imitate deep frying without a ton of oil. 

I decided to Air Fry my tortilla bowls.  I had purchased these really great tortilla shells from Amazon a couple of years ago.  I have been in love with them ever since.  They were not very expensive.  It is a great way to add a great alternative for presenting salads.
