How to Make How To Make Baked Taco Salad Shell Bowls

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Clean and thoroughly dry two 4-inch wide empty food cans. Lightly grease the cans with cooking spray.
  3. Carefully place the cans upside down on a 12-14 inch deep dish pizza pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon chili powder, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder.
  5. Gradually add ¾ cup of water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough lightly for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle, large enough to completely cover a can.
  7. Carefully drape the dough over each upside-down can, pressing it gently into the can’s curves and ensuring the dough extends slightly beyond the rim.
  8. Prick the dough several times with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bowls are golden brown and crispy.
  10. Carefully remove the cans from the oven. Let the bowls cool slightly before gently peeling them off the cans.
  11. Fill your baked taco bowls with your favorite taco salad toppings and enjoy!
