To enjoy their best texture, warm these taco shells before filling. You can place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and heat them in a preheated oven for a few minutes until they are warm and slightly crisped. Alternatively, some people prefer to warm them briefly in a toaster oven or even microwave them for a softer shell. Once warmed, carefully fill each shell with your prepared taco fillings and add your desired toppings.
