Taco shells: Line a
sheet pan with a rack. Place a
large pan over medium heat and add about 1/2 in of oil, enough for pan frying. Carefully slide in a tortilla and fry just until it starts to crisp up but is still pliable. Flip and use
tongs to quickly fold in half. Fry each side until golden brown and crispy. Feel free to use tongs to keep the tortilla from closing completely, leave a good gap in between for the filling. When done, transfer on to the prepared baking sheet and allow it to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Set aside until needed.
