The crispy-crunchy baked tortilla bowl is a thing of delicious beauty. And there’s just so many tasty ways to fill ’em up. Taco salad is one way to go, of course. But there are plenty other options. Basically, if you can top a tostada, stuff a burrito, or fill a taco with it, you can add it to your tortilla basket. All that and more! Because this tortilla is also a bowl, you can fill it with stews, chilis, and dips!
Making your own crispy tortilla bowls is pretty easy. Brush a little vegetable oil on ordinary flour tortillas and press them over a ramekin. Then cover with foil to shape the baskets and bake them, removing the ramekin midway through baking and repositioning the foil to achieve peak crispness. Once the tortilla bowls cool down, the fun really begins, as you fill them with delicious food!
See how to make Chef John’s Baked Tortilla Bowls:
Chef John loads his up with lettuce, pinto beans, shredded cheese, carnitas, tomatillo sauce, tomatoes, red onion, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and avocado. Here are more recipes for your crispy baked tortilla bowls:
1. Beef, Bean, and Beer Chili
Turn your tortilla into a chili bowl. A pinch of cinnamon, a little unsweetened cocoa powder, and a bottle of beer create a deeply flavorful chili.

2. Chicken Pot Pie II
Forget the pastry part of pot pie, and give it a Tex-Mex twist. Pour the hot pot-pie mixture into the baked tortilla. Top it with crumbled tortilla chips if you like.
