Delicious BBQ Tortilla Cups - But How Did I Do It?

[Humble Beginnings]

Ok I made these yesterday for BBQ and everyone loved them. My only problem was getting the cups right. I cut the tortilla into squares and then cut each corner in, but I couldn't shape them right in the mini cups. Some did come out but after much much work. Did I miss something? I did coat both sides with oil but some just wouldn't stay down to form the cup. The ones that did make it were gone within minutes of putting them out.

You have to cut the slits deeper than the recipe says. The cups are a pain, but they are cute and fun.

I had the same experience the first time I made them - the second time I did what Deb posted above (I actually tried a few different ways before I realized it) and it worked better - First time I made them for the family - second time I made them and brought the mixture in a chillzane bowl and cups separately to the Jimmy Buffet concert - Again a huge it! Extra mixture tastes great with Nacho chips as well - Might try them in the scoops version of Tositados!

Carol, I made these today and had the same problem. I think they need to be cut 1 1/4 in. in as I had some pop back out of the cup during baking. I wonder if egg roll sized wontons would work better?

I did these once for a demo and won't do them again. They were great tasting and the guests loved them, but it was very difficult to work with the tortillas in the muffin pan, they kept tearing and popping out!! You could always make the filling and then use the scoop chips!

Whew thought it was just me. Thanks for all the advice. I like the wonton wrapper idea and just using it as a dip.

I also put the Chipotle Rub in the sour cream. That was delicious!
