Method 1 (Microwave): Briefly rinse a flour tortilla under hot running water.
Rinse the inside of a pint glass with warm water.
Fold the wet tortilla and place it inside the glass, shaping it into a U-shape.
Place the glass in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute.
Using an oven mitt, carefully remove the hot glass and tip it over to release the formed taco shell.
Method 2 (Toaster): Fold a flour tortilla in half and place it into a toaster slot.
Press the lever down to toast the tortilla until it is crispy and pops up.
Remove the finished taco shells and serve.
