Top with crispy bacon pieces and a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 10–12 minutes until the tortilla edges are deeply golden and crispy

Notes

  • Do not skip draining the grease; excess fat will make the tortillas soggy.
  • Press tortillas gently but firmly so the folds stay open to create a cavity without tearing.
  • Add cold toppings such as lettuce, pickles, and sauce after baking so they stay fresh and vibrant.
  • Use a cookie scoop for even filling.
  • Do not overstuff the cups to avoid torn tortillas.
  • Grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
