Hi Friends!
Happy Monday 🙂 It’s time for Secret Recipe Club.
This month I had Rache’s blog, Rachel Cooks. I was so excited because I’ve followed her on Twitter forever and she always makes the most delicious recipes! I had a great time browsing her site. I have quite a few bookmarked to try later, but I kept coming back to this recipe for Southwestern Salad Bowls. Probably because we LOVE Mexican food and eat it several times a week 🙂
Although I didn’t follow her salad recipe exactly, I did totally steal the idea for the tortilla bowls. They’re so fun…and the perfect way to make leftovers more exciting in my house! A couple weeks ago, I made some black bean and goat cheese quesadillas to eat with my Sweet & Spicy Strawberry Peach Guacamole. I always make extra filling when we have Mexican so we can use it throughout the week. This time though, instead of just putting in a plain old tortilla, I followed Rachel’s directions to spice up our lunches the next day.
Just spray both sides of a tortilla with cooking spray, flip over a muffin tin and press the tortilla down between the tins to give it a flat bottom. Bake at 425 degrees for about 8 minutes.
Once your tortilla bowls are ready, fill them with your favorites and dig in! I warmed up the leftover quesadilla filling and scooped it into the shells…topped with some leftover guac and voila, lunch is served!
Thanks for the great idea Rachel!
Enjoy!

Love anything with a mexican or southwest vibe! So, so yummy. These bowls are so cute!

Genius! I don’t think my gluten free tortillas would make it but looks good!
Oooo smart idea! Sometimes I toss my extras over rice for lunch or on top of a salad!
Love tortilla bowls. I made something similar last year and it’s still one of my most popular posts!
Super cute bowls & great for a ladies luncheon!
OHHHHhhhhhhhhh!!!! This is SUCH a great idea!!!! I am going to try this asap!!! Thanks for the tip! This would be a great idea for chili bowls too!!
Genius!!! I love tortilla bowls, but I always just warm up a tortilla in the microwave & put it in the bottom of a salad bowl. I can’t wait to try this
i love that idea of using tortillas to make the bowls!! so creative!
How fun is the secret recipe club! I am going over to check it out NOW.
it’s definitely a cool idea!
I’ve seen these floating around and they look so easy and sooo good! Great SRC choice!

& can i just say, I am so intrigued by this ‘secret recipe’ club thing… I’ve been browsing the website for like 10 minutes now 😉

Gorgeous, I love this idea – especially the guacamole component!
haha me too 🙂
Yum!! I never knew that you could make tortilla bowls that way! How cool!
SUPER easy!!!
I love this idea! I am Mexican and don’t eat alot of authentic Mexican food because I only know how my mom prepared it. With alot of lard! I am all for lighter versions of the real thing.
yay!!!!! let me know if you like them if you give them a try!
What a fun, easy way to make a tortilla bowl. You were my SRC blog this month. I whipped up one of your delicious “green” smoothies.
your smoothie looked great!!! thanks for your kind words about my blog 🙂
I have made baked tortilla bowls using the back of a bowl before, but like the idea of using a muffin tin even better. Awesome!
yeah i tried the bowl thing too…this was way easier for me!
wowwww i love that trick with the tortilla!! so simple yet so fancy looking.
i also love this whole idea of trying one another’s recipes. Bloggylove!
i know, right! they look like they’re so hard to make but they’re not!
One word: YUM. Love that huge glob of guac!
hahah best part for sure!
That is a brilliant idea for tortillas, trying that tomorrow!
awesome! enjoy!
GREAT idea! I always make extra filling to so this would be perfect!
me too! we always have leftovers 🙂
YUM! I wonder if this would work with corn tortillas?? I must try….
not sure! but let me know if you try!
I made these last night and they were soooooooooooo good! We used some pulled pork that we had leftover, sweet potatoes, avocado, sour cream, salsa, grated swiss cheese and topped with green onions. Thank you for the YUMMY inspiration for dinner!
awesome!!! so glad to hear it!
Great idea! This looks super delicious – I love Mexican food too! 🙂
one of my favorite things has been tortilla bowls. LOVE them. This is a great idea. I actually have a form that I use but I only have two. This would allow me to make a few more at a time.
Great idea! I’ve bought the bowls before, but am never completely satisfied. My daughter loves the idea of eating her dish, so this would be a great weekend lunch for her!
That tortilla bowl idea is genius – pinning it!
I COMPLETELY slacked with my commenting this round of SRC. Glad you liked this!
