I finally got around to buying some of those molds for baking taco salad
shells from tortillas. But... They came with no instructions. I just
winged it. Softened the flour tortillas slightly in the microwave.
Attempted to fit them into the molds. Maybe needed to soften them a tiny
bit more as they didn't entirely conform but the end result as far as shape
was fine. They worked. But... They didn't crisp up!

I had the oven on to 350 as I was baking a carrot cake. I took them out
when the edges began to brown as I didn't want them to burn. but the
bottoms were still a bit soft. Letting them sit for a few minutes seemed to
help. My husband ate his right away. No complaints. But I am dawdling
over mine and now it has sort of melted down to a soggy mess.

So where did I go wrong? Should I have oiled the tortilla? Baked it at a
different temp.? Thanks.
