That's gonna happen at our house this weekend. And I'm probably going to buy up and hoard all I can find on my trips to the store these next few trips there. If there are any left.

I just looked in the pantry, and I have 78 shells on the shelf now. But I'm still going to buy a few more if the stores still have any.

Unless you eat tacos for every meal, those ****ers will be stale by the time you need them.

We do eat a lot of taco's. None are outdated. Like I said, we double up the shells. Some nights we use 18 shells, but most nights we use 24 shells and might have a couple left over. Taco's once a week here usually. Just buy the 12 and 18 packs when we are low.

Unless you do not have an air-fryer. It works wonders.

I am jealous!

I can tell by some of the comments in this thread about them that many haven't tried them.

I have never had a stale one and they are so light that I can't imagine being able to come close to replicating them at home.

Those Taco Bell ones are so heavy and stiff they almost bite back!

Those Taco Bell ones are like that because they are made by a vendor and then sent along a long supply chain to each individual store. Then they sit on a shelf in a cardboard box. Then they are taken out of their plastic wrappers and set inside a serving tray for hours in a warming cabinet before being brought to the line. They used to be much better because they were made from stacks of corn tortillas. Those fresh corn tortillas were put in taco molds and deep fried in lard and those cooked taco shells were never more than a day old, in busy stores those shells were always less than 12 hours old. Because freshly fried taco shells are always better.
