👨🍳 Instructions
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Brush tortillas with oil at 1 tablespoon per 4 tortillas and bake at 375°F for 8-10 minutes because this temperature creates steam pockets that puff the tortilla while the oil prevents cracking during shaping.technique375°F, 8-10 minutes
- ✓Press tortillas into muffin cups immediately after removing from oven while still pliable (above 140°F) because tortillas become brittle and crack within 2-3 minutes as they cool.timingAbove 140°F, 2-3 minutes
- ✓Add lime juice to avocado salsa at a 1:4 ratio (1 tablespoon lime per large avocado) because the citric acid prevents enzymatic browning by lowering pH below 4.0.ingredient1:4 ratio, pH below 4.0
- ✓Use a muffin tin turned upside down and drape tortillas over the bottom of cups to create uniform bowl shapes with better structural integrity than pressing into the wells.equipment
- ✓Salt the diced tomatoes 15 minutes before mixing and drain excess liquid because salt draws out 30-40% of water content through osmosis, preventing soggy tortilla cups.technique15 minutes, 30-40% water reduction
