How to make Tortilla Bowls

The recipe can be made in advance as well and it all depends on how many you want.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until the tortilla starts to puff and turn golden. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and place on individual serving plates.

*For an extra bonus, season your shells with your favorite seasonings to make the bowls extra tasty. 

While the shells cool, get your toppings and chili ready for when you want to assemble the whole dish. 

Assembly

Place a layer of chili on the bottom of each prepared shell bowls. Then place a layer shredded vegan cheese, then of shredded  lettuce (whatever you like). Place a dollop of vegan sour cream on top of the lettuce. Lastly, top with chopped tomatoes (and/or other topping: chopped cucumbers, avocado slices, olives, etc.) 

Optional

Add some hot sauce and/or salsas on top of your bowls. 

Once you have assembled your bowls, you can change up the toppings every time you make this recipe or even the next time you go up for another helping. Serve the bowls along side your favorite game day beverage and be sure to enjoy it over and over for every game day that needs a hearty and fun kick. Enjoy!
