Categories     Sides

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

flour tortillas, 8-inch (taco size) or 10-inch (burrito size)
2 oven safe bowls, stainless steel recommended (more info in recipe)
avocado oil spray

Steps:

  • Gather your tortillas, avocado oil spray, and corresponding oven safe bowls to form the shape of your flour tortilla bowl.
  • For a 10-inch burrito size flour tortilla, I used an 8-inch diameter stainless steel metal bowl as the outer bowl, and a 6-inch diameter stainless steel metal bowl as the inner bowl. The inner bowl in necessary to keep air bubbles from forming in the tortilla - any similar size oven safe object would work here. You will need a larger 5+ quart air fryer for this size.
  • Air fry tortilla bowls one at a time following these steps:
  • Open the air fryer and use tongs to remove the outer bowl from the tortilla mold setup, but leave the tortilla and inner bowl. Air fry at 350F for another 3-4 minutes. This step helps to brown the outside of the tortilla bowl. The inner bowl acts as a weight and keeps air bubbles from forming in the center of the tortilla.
