Ingredients

  • 6 flour tortillas 8" round or similar size
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1-2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  • Slice the tortillas in half evenly.
  • Mix the flour and water in a small dish.
  • Place mixture with your finger onto one corner of the tortilla and wrap it into a cone shape, and press the "glued" corner down firmly.
  • Finish all the tortillas.
  • Bake the tortillas empty or full.
  • If they are full you can roll a piece of foil in a log shape and rest the cones on it so they don't spill out.
  • Or if you bake them empty you can bake them with the point up, you can fill them with tin foil if they are flimsy, some tortillas are thicker than others.
  • Bake for a few minutes at 400° or under a broiler on high, they will only take a few minutes to crisp up and become "toasted".
  • if you're baking them filled you can reduce the temperature to 375° or higher if you'll be being them longer.
  • The tortillas are done baking when they are golden and the "glued" areas is dry.
