Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 oven-safe ramekins, about 4 inches in diameter
  • Aluminum foil

Information

  • Cook Time: 25 mins
  • Total Time: 40 mins
  • Servings: 2
  • Yield: 2 bowls

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Brush oil on both sides of tortillas.
  • Invert ramekin on a work surface. Center tortilla over bottom of the ramekin; gently shape tortilla down around sides.
  • Place a double layer of aluminum foil over tortilla and press to form a bowl around the ramekin.
  • Place right-side-up on a baking sheet. Leave about 1/2-inch of tortilla exposed above foil, so it gets browned and crispy when baked. Repeat this step with second tortilla.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Use tongs to remove the ramekins from shells. Continue baking shells until lightly browned, about 5 more minutes.
  • Carefully remove foil from around shells. Flatten foil sheets and invert shells on them. Bring foil up just around bottom of shells to protect top edge.
  • Bake shells until browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Invert shells and continue baking until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch them carefully, so they don't burn.
  • Transfer basket burritos to a rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy!
