We often give you the opportunity to make new dishes and try new techniques, but we don't often teach you how to make your own dinnerware. Relax, we aren't sending you a kiln and pottery wheel. (Can you imagine the postage on that?) But we will teach out how to a crisp a tortilla into a crunch taco bowl, one that you'll fill with a zesty salad of chicken, fresh vegetables, and chipotle ranch dressing. Leave the pottery to Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze (RIP); you've got a delicious dinner to prepare.
