I believe those taco molds are intended to be used with corn tortillas,
not flour tortillas. Flour tortillas aren't supposed to be crisp nor
are they used in what I've seen called a "taco salad".

She says she doesnt much like making salads. In other threads,
according to her, she practically grazes at the salad bar at the
supermarket. Oh, wait, the supermarket changed hands. Gotta bitch
about that! Olives! Oh boy! I'm pretty sure they don't have taco
shells at the salad bar at the grocery store.

It's just another thing for her to buy and then complain about. Nothing
ever seems to turn out well. Pity party!

Ever notice how when people post about food and recipes that turned out
great she has no comment?
