Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F
  2. Place ovenproof bowls upside down on a rimmed cookie sheet. Spray bowls with non-stick. Place 1 tortilla on each bowl. Gently press tortilla to bowl. Spray tortillas lightly with non-stick. Bake 8 to 12 minutes, until tortillas are barely brown and starting to crisp. Remove to wire rack to cool.
