To prepare these taco shells, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, typically around 350°F (175°C). Arrange the shells in a single layer on a baking sheet. Warm them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are heated through and slightly crisped. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become brittle. Once warmed, remove them from the oven and carefully fill them with your chosen taco ingredients, such as seasoned ground meat, beans, vegetables, cheese, and salsa.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard corn taco shells, the addition of chia seeds introduces a subtle textural variation and a slightly earthier flavor. The chia seeds also contribute to the overall composition, making them distinct from shells made solely from corn masa. Their shape is also designed for easy filling.

How to keep the rest
