Easy Taco Shell Hacks

For the microwave method, rinse a small flour tortilla and a 16-ounce glass under warm running water.

Place the damp tortilla inside the glass, molding it to the side to create a shell shape.

Microwave on high for approximately 60 seconds.

Carefully remove the hot glass from the microwave. Use a fork to gently pry the finished taco shell out of the glass.

For the toaster method, cut a small flour tortilla in half.

Place one half of the tortilla into a toaster slot and toast until firm and lightly browned.

Carefully remove the toasted shell, pinch the bottom to create a pocket, and fill with cooked ground beef and shredded cheese.

For the avocado pit hack, place an avocado on a cutting board.

Screw a corkscrew into the center of the avocado pit.

Pull up on the corkscrew handles to easily extract the pit.
