Ingredients

  • 1 bottle Italian dressing
  • 1 can finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 12 ten-inch flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F, rack in the middle position.

  2. Spray the inside of the 12 regular-size muffin cans nonstick cooking spray.

  3. Place the Italian dressing in a shallow bowl that’s larger than the size of the tortillas.

  4. Place the finely grated Parmesan cheese in another shallow bowl in a bit larger than the size of your tortillas.

  5. Using tongs, dip one tortilla in the bowl with the Italian dressing. Then flip it over so that both sides are coated with the dressing.

  6. Again using tongs, remove the tortilla from the bowl with the dressing and lay it flat in the bowl with the finely grated Parmesan cheese.

  7. Flip the tortilla over so that both sides are coated with the cheese.

  8. With impeccably clean fingers, place the center of the coated tortilla in one of the muffin cups, pressing it down to the bottom.

  9. Once the bottom is flat, press the tortilla cup against the sides of the muffin cup. Your object is to form a tortilla cup that lines the inside of the indentation.

  10. Bake your Savory Tortilla Cups at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until they are beginning to brown slightly.

  11. Take the muffin tin out of the oven and set it on a cold stove burner for 10 to 15 minutes or until the muffin tin and its contents are cool to the touch.

  12. Flip the muffin tin over on a wire rack. The Tortilla Cups should tip right out. Since they’re now upside down on the rack, flip them over, place them on a platter, and fill them with contents of your choice.

  13. Fill with mixed vegetables, rice, beans, or chicken salad.
