Hard Flour Taco Shell

Hard Flour Taco Shell

EverydayCookedEnriched

A hard flour taco shell is a crisp, Mexican-inspired vessel made from enriched wheat flour that’s typically pre-baked or fried until golden. These shells gain structural rigidity through the cooking process, offering a neutral flavor and sturdy base for fillings like seasoned meats or vegetables. While enriched flour provides added iron and B vitamins, they contain more refined carbohydrates and less fiber than whole-grain or corn-based alternatives. Their brittle texture holds shape when filled but can soften quickly when exposed to moist ingredients.
