"This is a great way to make low-fat, edible bowls that are a great way to hold Mexican salads. You can make as many as you need using either corn or flour tortillas. If using corn tortillas, the microwave method is better as they tend to crack if baked in the oven. Recipe comes from Company's Coming Greatest Hits Mexican. Note: You can use these two methods to make large bowls by using 10-inch tortillas and a 4-cup measuring cup."

This little tortilla bowl gets 5 stars just for cuteness! I couldn’t believe how easy it was to make. I added some lettuce, roasted chicken, cheese, tomatoes and salsa to my tortilla bowl. It was a tasty little salad, bowl and all! Thanks Dreamer for posting this recipe. I’ll be making this again.
