How in the world would you even be able to put anything in that shell????? It would crack.
7 ปีที่แล้ว +35
Hola Sara, They don't crack if you gently open them. I've had a few break, but I make lots of tacos. The trick is to make your shells with room temperature tortillas. Happy cooking!
I tried your way last night (same tortillas and oil) and it was a hit last night with hubby, picky 4 year old and myself! So easy! And so effective! Thank you...i loved these taco shells.

Funny, I used flour tortillas and they just bubbled up. Still tasted great, but they were hard to fry. I prefer corn, but my husband prefers flour. So next time, I'll use corn. Thank you for the info.!
5 ปีที่แล้ว
Hi Jackie, Good to hear the flour worked too. My hubby loves those as well. Happy Cooking!
what would be the biggest Taco shell possible to make? Like 10 inches large tortillia wrappers? Would it be able to keep its structure. and not break appart? even when filling it to the top?
4 ปีที่แล้ว
Hi There, You can use flour tortillas. I've used 10 inches before and they work well. The trick is the oil must be cooler and you need to turn them quickly because they are going to get crunchy and golden brown much faster than corn. And can burn easily! Make sure the tortillas are room temperture when you start frying! Some of my family prefers the taste of the flour tortillas tacos. Hope this helps. Please reach out with any other questions. Happy cooking. Molé Mama
Hola Mole Mama. When you fill the shells, do they open without breaking? Thank you.
7 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Hola Ohm, the shells don't usually break. Sometimes if you get them too well done they will. I'll be making them live via Facebook live on Friday for a special holiday show. Reach out if you want the show details and I'll make sure and over some tips on how not to break them. Hope this helps and thanks so much for watching my video :)
You do it by not making them flat like she does. Use the tongs to hold them open while frying. P.S. mole mama olive oil gives these shells a FANTASTIC flavor.

In my younger days (my 20s during the 1980s) when I lived in SoCal I would go down to Ensenada and San Felipe whenever I could. Back home in Texas it was a much farther trip to the border from Amarillo so didn't get to go as often as I would have liked.

Hi Shannon, excellent news. It's wonderful that you found an oil that supports your health and still tastes yummy! Thanks for sharing and happy cooking!
I fried the corn tortillas pretty much this way tonight. All I had was peanut oil. They were kind of soggy and heavy with oil - not crunchy. The oil was quite hot but the tortillas came straight out of the fridge. Any suggestions?
4 ปีที่แล้ว
Alan Lane Hi There, So a couple of things. It’s best for the tortillas to be room temperature and the oil needs to be really hot. Did you use the wood spoon test? And I’ve never used peanut oil to make them before, so not sure if that contributed to the sogginess. I hope they turn out next time. Be well, Molé Mama
Hola Raquel, keep each side in the oil for just a couple of minutes, until they are golden brown. It depends on how hot your oil is and how crunchy you want your shells. Hope this helps! Happy Cooking! Be well, Molé Mama
I like your video, what temp do you use, low medium or high?
4 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Thank you Jimmy. Use medium heat. Start frying as soon as your wood spoon is surrounded by oil bubbles. As you continue, you may need to lower the heat a little. Hope this helps! Be well! Happy cooking😋

Hi Mike, use medium/high heat. Use a wooden spoon test in my video to identify when the oil is hot enough to start frying. Please reach out with any other questions. Happy cooking😋
I found day-old tortillas work best because they have less moisture and will get crunchy faster. If fresh, let them sit out in a single layer uncovered for a while before frying.

i made tortillas and they turned out chewy!!! what did i do wrong
4 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Hi Maggie, Sorry to hear this. Most likely, you didn't fry them long enough. Do you get the oil hot? Did you try the wood spoon test? Can you send your steps and happy to help you sort this out so you can enjoy crunchy tacos soon. All the best! Happy Cooking! Molé Mama
I started on a medium high heat and put the tortilla in and it started to bubble around it, i waited till the tortilla had bubbles inside it then folded them into the shape they needed and let them fry until they were a darker yellow. Maybe I didn’t have the heat high enough or fry them long enough.
Molé Mama those are labeled as small in South Africa, where I’m from, we have some that are a lot bigger, perfect for salad wraps or large burritos. Not so much for tacos, then again Mexican food isn’t that popular in South Africa since we have more Indian people.

Jaunii Wolf So interesting Jaunii. Thanks for sharing. I haven’t been to South Africa yet, I hope to visit some day. You can make these with larger flour tortillas too you just need to keep a close eye on them because they cook super fast and burn easily. One of our followers from Croatia made them with the larger tortillas recently and said her family loved them. Thanks again for sharing! Happy cooking!
Snoody Snoody I put my stove on medium heat and use a wooden spoon to test the oil. When the oil bubbles around the spoon it's ready. It's a technique that a dear chef friend of mine taught me. Hope this helps and happy cooking! Molè Mama
Need to see those stuffed on camera. They were tightly shut after frying and I want to see them not crack as you fill them up with all those ingredients.
Interesting. I wonder if air fry shells would be easy then and maybe healthier.

Great question, I’ve never tried it. But if you do, please let me know how it goes. I have recently started using avocado oil for all my tacos and it’s an awesome upgrade, healthier and tastes great. Thank you for contacting us. Happy Cooking!
You have to hold them shells open with the tongs as they fry if you want to have room for fillings! That’s why you skipped the filling process. Otherwise you are a doll!!!
Every time I make my shells I basically just fry them flat and then once I pull them out of the hot oil THEN I fold them in half. But I like your way of doing it better. I don’t know why it never occurred to me to fry them while folded?? Lol Maybe because I’m an inexperienced white girl? 😂

I AM OBSESSED WITH (and miss) REALLY GREAT, SLIGHTLY GREASY, HARD SHELL TACOS WITH BEEF, CHICKEN, OR POTATO.

Brandy Morgan Hola Brandy, sorry I spent time in Albuquerque and have never found any! They are super easy to make. If you decide to make them reach out with any questions! And Duran’s pharmacy has outstanding flour tortillas and they serve them with melted butter!!!! So delicious! Happy cooking😋
don’t know why she felt the need to say tortilla like that lmaoo
I get a little excited when I cook! I really love to make crunchy tacos and I love to eat them and well sometimes, I say things a little funny :)
Mashed potato tacos, the vegetarian option.....
Yes, my favorite. But you can use grilled veggies, squash, sweet potatoes, eggplant, etc.
Be well!
parchment paper does not absorb oil!
They’re not greasy at all!
We made tacos as a family, check it out!! @tK7o
Wow! Just watched your video! I love that Sammy made tacos for your entire family! So fabulous! Happy Cooking & Happy Holidays! Molé Mama
Babe those are not home made. You bought them off the shelf and dripped them in hot oil 😂🤦🏻
🤣
Owla guys
I use coconut oil
Nice! It's a good alternative! Happy Cooking!
Molé Mama
Why she gotta make that face🥴 when biting into the taco 🤨
I love them :) Happy Cooking!
Yumm😍
I'm I'll be right over 👍
adam kane Happy cooking! Please reach out with any questions!
Mole mama, I thought you were going to show how to make some really good homemade tacos shells, you know from scratch, but it was just frying tortillas that you bought from the store, 😩
This is what my mama called home made and they’re ridiculously delicious! Apologizes for not meeting your expectations. But if you decide to try them, I hope you love them as much as my family and friends do. Happy cooking! All the best! Molé Mama
Those are old school 80s ghetto tongs.
LOL! I think they might be older than that!
What Recipe? There is no recipe here.
Why are torttias bubiling up!
kawaii cat Not sure why flour tortillas do that when they are fried, but it makes it harder to fry them. And they burn so easily. How did it go?
@ welp...when i put torttias away out of the burrning oil the bubbles are disepering so that was good!onf also tacos were amazing!They were really deicius and chrunchy !thank you for tutorial and all of rhe help!💞💕
kawaii cat Thrilled that you made them and found them to be delicious 😋 Well done! Happy Cooking! Be well, Molé Mama
There is nothing in the taco shell.
Hi Jason,
Here's the link to the beef filling that's a family favorite - th-cam.com/video/6yWU-nxmKf4/w-d-xo.html
Chicken, ground turkey, roasted veggies and mashed potatoes are also super yummy in our crunchy tacos!
Happy cooking!
Be well.
Molé Mama
Every recipe I found is not home made. You bought the tortillas at the store. They are not healthy either.
shop shells duuuu
I had them at a bar and grill and wasn’t a fan. Sorry.
