Equipment

  • Blackstone Griddle (Large griddle)
  • Silicone Brush
  • Cooling rack (Openings large enough to shape taco shells)
  • Blackstone taco rack (Optional)
  • Griddle Spatulas
  • BBQ tongs

Ingredients
  

  • Corn tortillas
  • Flour tortillas (Small)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (Vegetable oil)
  • 1 tablespoon salt (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons soften butter (Optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Blackstone to low for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare your tortillas. Brush a light coat of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
    Tip: Place the oiled sides together like a sandwich and stack. This makes putting them on the griddle easier.
  • Turn off two side burners and lightly oil the griddle.
  • Place the tortillas, oiled-salted side down, on the griddle for 2 minutes. Put oil and salt on the other side as desired.
  • Flip the tortillas and grill for another 2 minutes or until desired crispiness.
    NOTE: Some of the tortillas will need a bit more time as the griddle top is not completely even on cooking. Additionally, if you crisp too long, it will be difficult to shape to shells.
  • Shape tortillas on the Blackstone taco rack.
    Tip: You can overlap tortillas as you form them on the rack.
  • Bring them in and have fun making those tacos.
