ABSTRACT:
A process for making fried taco shells. Disc tortillas are formed from a sheet of ground corn masa dough, and the formed disc tortillas are passed laterally through a heated baking oven on laterally moving open web support means in successive, appreciably longitudinally spaced transverse rows, each such row including a plurality of the tortillas. The baked tortillas are transferred in the aforesaid row arrangement through an elongated steam chamber and exposed to low pressure steam in the chamber for a time period of about a few seconds to about a few minutes. The steam exposure effects tempering and moisture equilibration in the tortillas. The tempered tortillas are transferred into and through deep fat frying apparatus.
