ABSTRACT:
A taco shell shaper including a shaping portion and a handle member. The shaping portion is affixed to the handle member with a roll pin so that handle member will swing eighty (80.degree.) to either side of the shaping portion. An uncooked tortilla is wrapped around the shaping portion.
The user then places the tortilla and shaping portion in heated cooking oil which is approximately three-sixteenth (3/16) of an inch deep in a skillet so that one-half (1/2) the tortilla and one side of the shaping portion are heated in the oil. After that half of the tortilla is cooked, the user then flips the shaper portion with the handle member so that the other half of the tortilla and the other side of the shaper portion are immersed in the heated oil. After that side of the tortilla is cooked, the tortilla and taco shell shaper are removed from the oil and the cooked tortilla is then removed from the shaping portion. The cooked tortilla is now shaped for filling.
