The craving overcame me; the irony is that I have one TacoBell within walking distance of my house, but as I do try to avoid junk food, I decided to make my version of Crunchy Taco Bell. It was spectacular and really easy to make.
Nowadays I usually end having Tostadas when I want crunchy Tex-Mex flavors. Feel free to treat the taco shells like tostadas in a pinch.
