In today’s video, we will be learning how to make homemade Taco Shells. This is a fun and easy way to add a personal touch to your tacos at home. All the ingredients and quantitative data are listed and linked in the infobox below, so you can easily follow along.

To start, we will need 200 grams of maize flour and 100 grams of wheat flour. Add them through a sieve into a mixing bowl. Then add 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Pour in some hot water and start kneading the mixture using your hands. If the dough seems too dry, pour in another sip of hot water and continue kneading until the dough is smooth and has the consistency of modeling clay.

The dough should not be sticky but not too tight. Place the dough onto the working top and form it into a square shape. Cut the dough into 10 equal sized pieces, or use a kitchen balance to weigh out pieces of about 50 grams. Briefly knead every dough piece and form small dough balls by rolling the dough pieces between your palms.

Dust the working top with some maize flour and give a dough ball onto the floured surface. Slightly flatten and flour from both sides, then roll out using a rolling pin until thin and flat. Make sure that the dough is rolled out relatively round. Using a cereal bowl, cut out perfectly round sheets of dough. Do not throw away the remaining dough, simply collect and roll out again later to make more Taco Shells.

Next, prick the dough sheets multiple times using a fork. This avoids air bubbles forming in the dough when frying the sheets. Heat up a pot or wok adding 1 - 1½ liters of vegetable oil. Carefully give a small piece of scrap dough into the oil. As soon as it bubbles and begins to foam, reduce the heat to medium. Increase the temperature only when needed again.

Now successively give the prepared sheets of dough into the hot oil. As soon as they float to the oil surface, gently turn once with the help of 2 kitchen spatulas. Then fold 2 opposite sides of the Taco Shells with kitchen spatulas and keep frying until the shape hardens. This happens very quickly, and the total frying time is about 1 minute.

Finally, turn the ready Taco Shell in the hot oil, then carefully lift the Taco Shells out of the oil, drain briefly, and allow to cool completely on paper towels. The Taco Shells may not look as perfectly shaped as industrially crafted ones, but they are homemade and add a personal touch to your meals.
