This Taco Buddha Bowl is not only satisfying but also super delish! Simple to make and after a long day at work or for lunch!

Four steps to make taco bowls:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On a baking sheet, place the oven-safe cups or oven-safe jars upside down, evenly spacing them to make room for the tortillas to drape over the jars.
  2. Warm the tortillas up slightly in the microwave or a pan for about 30 seconds. The tortillas need to be soft and pliable to wrap around the jar. Rub a teaspoon or so of oil on the front and back of the tortilla. You can use your fingers to ensure you coat the entire surface of the tortilla. You don’t need a lot of oil, just enough to ensure the tortillas will bake and not stick to the jar or cup.
  3. Drape each tortilla over a cup or jar. Gently press the sides down over the jar a little. This will ensure the shells form in to a bowl shape.
  4. Bake the tortilla bowls for about 8-10 minutes. Check often, so they don’t burn. When the tortillas are nicely browned and crisp, remove the pan from the oven and let the tortillas cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the cups or jars.
