Nobody orders a taco salad at a restaurant for the salad. We all know we’re in it for that delicious crispy taco bowl. Now you can skip that sub-par taco salad, and make your own crunchy tortilla bowls at home.
These DIY taco bowls are baked, not fried. They’re so fun for taco bar night at home, and you can make them without any special equipment. You’ll simply need a plate, baking sheet, and a few soup bowls.
As far as the fillings, the sky is the limit! Start with shredded lettuce or cabbage, and then add things like: Air Fryer Fish Tacos, Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice, Instant Pot Mexican Rice, Spicy Instant Pot Black Beans, Air Fryer Tofu, and Pressure Cooker Shredded Chicken. I like to season the protein I use with homemade Gluten-Free Taco Seasoning.
For toppings, I love Mango Pico de Gallo, Chipotle Sauce, Encurtido, Avocado Ranch, Healthy Guacamole, Gluten-Free French Fried Onions, and Avocado Yogurt Dip.
Pro Tips/Recipe Notes
- Double-check that the bowls you plan to use are marked as “oven-safe”.
- You can use corn tortillas for a gluten-free version, but the taco bowls will be much smaller. You should also microwave the tortillas for 15 seconds to make them pliable before dipping in the water/oil mixture.
- These can be meal prepped up to three days before you want to use them. Allow them to fully cool and then store in an air-tight container at room temperature.
