"I know tha some people not be able to eat traditional tacos, but you could use this for a wrap as well," says ICer Heather (Queensweater) who sent along this yummy south of the border recipe for us. Thanks, Heather!


Homemade Cornmeal Taco Shells


1 ½ cups cold water

1 egg

1 cup flour

½ cup cornmeal

¼ tsp salt

vegetable oil for frying


Pour a couple of drops of oil in pan, to prevent shell from sticking.

Using hand beater: beat water, flour, cornmeal, salt, egg until smooth.

Heat frying pan over medium-low heat, just until hot.
Pour scant ¼ cup of mixture into pan, then tip pan so that base is covered in a thin layer.

Cook until shell is dry around the edges (approximately 2 minutes), then flip over, and cook until golden.


Yileds 5 to 6 shells depending on the size of your pan
