Cornmeal Soft Taco Shells
Make on Fresco
These fragrant soft taco shells are perfect for wrapping up all that deliciousness you can imagine. Best served fresh, they will still freeze well.
We can come up with so many filling for these that it is staggering. They are fluffy, fragrant, with a little crunch from the polenta and seeds and full of Mexican love! Get onto your meat and salad fillings, go with plain cheese and make quesadillas (where's the guacamole?)
They are just so homey and warming. Nothing says, come home for dinner kids, quite as much as homemade taco shells!
COOK ONCE, EAT TWICE:
Make a double batch and freeze the leftovers. Reheat or thaw before using with any of the following.
