A few years back I planned on getting these but I never did, so now I improvise. It actually turned out to be a blessing because I don’t  have room in my kitchen for much more and I really need a few other things. Like a mandolin, can you believe I don’t own one? Any way, making your own tostada bowls is a cinch, all you need is a muffin tin.

Place a warm/softened and lightly oiled tortilla {microwave for 10 seconds} in between the cups of an upside down muffin tin. Like this…

Bake in a pre-heated 425 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Simple right?  While it cools you can make all the fixin’s to go inside. I like smoky black beans and ground turkey with homemade taco seasoning. Yum

I gave Kaili some  toys to sort  and string for a fine motor activity while I made dinner. It was fun to watch her brain and little fingers at work.
