Crispy BAKED Tortilla Bowls

8 or 10 inch tortillas (I like 8" Whole Wheat)
Aluminum foil
Pam or Canola spray

Preheat oven to 400.

Make a ring out of foil & place it on a cookie sheet. Heat tortilla in microwave about 15-30 seconds, to soften. Spray both sides with spray & put on top of foil ring. Press down in center to form a shallow bowl. Bake at 400 for about 8-15 minutes. Watch them. Turn if necessary to brown evenly. Remove from oven & allow to cool before filling. They will continue to crisp a little as they cool.

For taco salad, fill with lettuce, tomatoes, taco meat or salsa chicken, beans, etc.

Salsa Chicken Quesadillas / Tacos

8 oz. Cooked chicken
1/4 - 1/2 c. salsa
2 oz. shredded cheese
2 whole wheat flour tortillas (8" or 10")

Preheat broiler.

Shred chicken into pieces and put into a microwave-safe bowl. Pour salsa over chicken, cover & microwave until hot. Stir to coat chicken, adding more salsa if needed.

Spray tortillas with non-stick spray. Put spray-side down on cookie sheet & spread 1oz of cheese on each. Put under broiler to melt cheese. Spread half of salsa chicken mixture on each tortilla & fold over. Put back under broiler to crisp tortilla. (ONLY 1-2 minutes - Watch carefully, it goes quick.) Flip over & crisp other side. Let cool for a minute then cut into 2-3 wedges. Serve with a salad.
