Soft Corn Taco Shells

Soft Corn Taco Shells

EverydayCooked

Soft corn taco shells are pliable, lightly cooked tortillas made from masa harina (nixtamalized corn flour), a staple of traditional Mexican cuisine. These gluten-free shells retain a tender, slightly chewy texture when heated on a griddle or skillet, contrasting with fried hard-shell varieties by containing minimal added fat. Their neutral corn flavor and flexibility make them ideal for authentic street-style tacos, easily folded around fillings without cracking.
