• “NO CLOSE” TACO SHELL WARMING TIP…

    Always warm your taco shells to get them nice and crunchy. Here’s a great idea our founder came up with years ago on how to keep taco shells from closing up while warming in the oven. Just place the shells upside down- so they look like Christmas trees on a cookie and slip them into the oven. P.S… Don’t worry if the taco shells “rock” a little on the sheet on the way into the oven.

  • HOW TO BEAT THE HEAT-

    TacoProper taco holders make it easy to handle hot shells right out oven- without burning your fingers! Remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Then simply slip each warm & crunchy shell into a TacoProper taco holder! Then set it aside for quick and easy filling!

  • NO MORE BROKEN, WASTED TACO SHELLS!

    When you fill your crunchy warmed shells in TacoProper® taco holders you can really pack the fillings in without breaking the shells! This is one of the most loved, and coolest benefits of the TacoProper taco holder! Fill warmed shells in a TacoProper taco holder with a small spoon over the pan, or if you prefer, set your warmed shells aside in TacoProper taco holders and then fill and top off each taco. Perfect!

  • Curing “SBS”- (Stubborn Burrito Syndrome)

    Conventional wisdom says to keep a burrito from unrolling, place them with the rolled flap side down on the plate. A customer mentioned that they used their TacoProper taco holders to help keep their rolled up homemade burritos from unrolling while they warmed them in the microwave to melt the cheese inside. We loved their creativity and tried it on our bacon, egg & cheese breakfast burritos. It worked great. Awesome tip! Makes cute burritos, too.
