This should be off topic since I didn't do them on the Egg (time constraints), but I could have. I'm posting this because it's a fun thing to do. Take a regular corn tortilla, spray with Pam on both sides, form it on an upside down muffin pan, and bake indirect at 375° for 15 minutes. Also, my garden is just starting to come in. My jalapeños in the beans, my sorrano chiles in the guacamole, and my onion in the tacos. Tomatoes not ready yet.
By the way, they didn't crack up like regular taco shells.
(Note) I get my tortillas fresh from a Tortilleria, but if you get store bought ones, heat them in the microwave first, covered by a damp cloth, for about 30 seconds, to make them pliable.

That is too cool! Thanks for sharing this tip. It makes for a really unique presentation.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

For an old guy with one ball you still can come up with a good idea.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Most excellent! Does it work with draping the tortilla over the muffin cups, or are the tortillas too big? Which tortillleria do you go to? Fresh tortillas are the bomb diggity (since I don't make them myself!)
And I thought the consensus was to use "outtta" ( a consensus of 1 person still counts as a consensus IMO).

Cali,I thought about draping them over the muffin cups, but they wouldn't lay down enough around the sides. Just now, it dawned on me that I could have loosely tied them with a string, but my brain was slightly impaired at the time, and I didn't think about that.There are several tortillerias around town, but the one I go to is in a little strip center on the corner of Hillcroft and Bellaire. Just say "una libra, por favor" and give them a buck.Here's a picture of the tortilleria I took with my iphone, but it's out of focus.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

That does it. Adding to the short list.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

@Henapple didn't have enough courage to ask this, but he wanted to know if they held beer?? I told him I would ask you VI and report back.Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

Thanks, VI. I'm in that neighborhood occasionally, so I'll give them a whirl. I like the Kroger in-house "tortilleria" (at least they're fresh) so I'm sure I'll like your joint.And that's about all the Spanish I can muster too.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.
