Instructions

  1. 1 Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan for about 7 minutes. Ensure oil is hot enough by sticking the end of a wooden spoon into the oil; bubbles should form around the wood start to float up.
  2. 2 Place 1 tortilla on a slotted spoon and bottom of 1 jar on top of tortilla; lower into the hot oil. Carefully remove spoon, making sure not to tear the tortilla. Mold tortilla around the bottom of the jar using the spoon; cook for about 1 minute.
  3. 3 Remove the jar and tortilla bowl from oil using tongs, tilting the tortilla bowl so excess oil goes back into the saucepan. Lay bowl on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Repeat with remaining tortillas and jars.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Brush oil on both sides of tortillas.
  3. 3 Invert ramekin on a work surface. Center tortilla over bottom of the ramekin; gently shape tortilla down around sides.
  4. 4 Place a double layer of aluminum foil over tortilla and press to form a bowl around the ramekin.
  5. 5 Place right-side-up on a baking sheet. Leave about 1/2-inch of tortilla exposed above foil, so it gets browned and crispy when baked. Repeat this step with second tortilla.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Use tongs to remove the ramekins from shells. Continue baking shells until lightly browned, about 5 more minutes.
  7. 7 Carefully remove foil from around shells. Flatten foil sheets and invert shells on them. Bring foil up just around bottom of shells to protect top edge.
  8. 8 Bake shells until browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Invert shells and continue baking until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch them carefully, so they don't burn.
  9. 9 Transfer basket burritos to a rack to cool completely.
  10. 10 Enjoy!

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large frying pan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2 Beat egg, milk, and salt in a shallow bowl. Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl.
  3. 3 Coat both sides of squash slices in flour. Dip each slice in the egg mixture, then coat both sides with bread crumbs.
  4. 4 Place 4 to 5 slices in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and fork-tender, about 3 minutes on each side, using tongs and a fork to help turn them over in the pan. Do not overcrowd; overcrowding will reduce crispiness. Set fried slices on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Continue frying remaining slices. Let cool, about 5 minutes.
  5. 5 "Frost" slices with some of the vegetable cream cheese as desired. Serve while still warm, or at room temperature.
