Until you take the first bite and the whole thing crumbles.

Real corn tortillas. Check. A pan with hot oil. Check. Fry tortillas for a few seconds, then flip it on it's side and make a taco shell. Check.

I used to live across the street from the Old El Paso plant which was actually in Anthony, Texas just outside El Paso.

This. I was very happy with those as I built them. Then one bite and the whole think cracks down the middle.

I haven't had that problem. Maybe you are doing it wrong?

It happens about 75% of the time. Don't know how you can eat a taco wrong....hold upright, tilt head, take bite.

I tilt the taco, and not my head. Perhaps that is the difference.

No. You need to half-tilt the taco and half-tilt the head.

Yup, I like them taco shells that stand up on their own. A definite win.

Maybe I fill the tacos too full. If I tilt them stuff falls out.

(who's going to be the first to giggle at that?)
