📝 Preparation Steps
1
Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Place a medium/large skillet over medium heat and add 1⁄4” of oil. Once the oil is hot (350 ̊F on a thermometer), carefully slide in a tortilla and fry for ⏱️ 12-15 seconds until golden and bubbly on the first side.
2
Flip and use tongs to immediately fold in half. Fry another ⏱️ 10-12 seconds per side or until golden brown then use tongs to transfer the taco shell to the prepared baking sheet.
3
Immediately sprinkle taco shells lightly with kosher salt. I find if you open them up a bit and set them upside-down to cool and drain on the paper towels, they will stay open a bit more, making them easier to fill and you don’t need a taco holder. Repeat with remaining tortillas until all shells are fried.
