I once tried to make the taco shells at home but it didn’t came out nicely. I buy readymade taco shells and made the stuffings and the salsa at home. You can make any types of stuffings. If you are a vegetarian then you can make various types of paneer stuffings. Or maybe you can use corn or veggies for stuffing. Use a soft tortilla instead of the hard taco shell. And add the stuffings into it. I do have a goal to make the taco shells myself at home someday. Hopefully, it would come out in nice shape.
