Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat a dry skillet over medium/high heat. |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, water, and eggs. Mix well until the batter is smooth and runny. |
| 3 | Once the skillet is hot, drop large spoonfuls of the batter onto it, quickly spreading the batter in a circular motion to form thin circles. Work from the inside out to evenly distribute the batter. |
| 4 | Cook each side for about 1 minute, until the shells are set but not browned. |
| 5 | Remove the shells from the skillet and immediately shape them into taco shells by placing them half-curled between two objects, such as coffee cups, to give them that classic taco shape. |
| 6 | Alternatively, if you prefer, serve the shells directly from the pan without shaping them. They’ll be hot and pliable, and less likely to crack while being filled with delicious taco fillings. |
| 7 | Fill your taco shells with all your favorite toppings and enjoy the crunchy, homemade goodness! |
