Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Brush oil on both sides of tortillas. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Invert ramekin on a work surface. Center tortilla over bottom of the ramekin; gently shape tortilla down around sides. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Place a double layer of aluminum foil over tortilla and press to form a bowl around the ramekin. (2 minutes)

05

Step

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. (3 minutes)

06

Step

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. (10 minutes)

07

Step

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. (5 minutes)

08

Step

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. (13 minutes)

09

Step

Transfer basket burritos to a rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

10

Step

Enjoy!

For even crispier bowls, lightly spray the foil with cooking oil before pressing the tortillas into them.
Experiment with different types of tortillas, such as whole wheat or flavored varieties, to add a unique twist.
To prevent burning, keep a close eye on the tortillas during the final baking stages. The baking time may vary depending on your oven.
