Fried our own taco shells





I

I  was thinking back to the first time I had a taco. I was a teenager in Kansas City and an elderly couple was selling them out of their apartment.  You knocked on the door, came in and sat down while they made them for you.  When mom learned how to make them at home, there was a wire form that held the corn tortillas in hot oil while they were cooking.  

I wondered if they still made those taco shell forms.  They do but they aren't shaped like the old ones.  These make the shells more open and it is harder to eat them.  I guess I will make the rest of them as tostada shells.  And when I have fried up the last of the corn tortillas, I'll go back to getting the store bought ones.   Anybody want a taco shell holder?
