taco shell
Folded corn casing
A taco shell is the crisp, U-shaped corn tortilla that holds taco fillings.
The shell is fried or baked into its curved form, ready to be filled with meat, cheese, lettuce, and other ingredients.
Soft tortillas folded around fillings are also called tacos, but the term *shell* specifically implies the rigid, crunchy version: The taco shell cracked when I bit into it.
