Norpro makes great Mini tortilla shell bakers with no oil required. I found these at my local kitchen store, though I am sure Norpro products are available many places. These are great. After baking the shell, I put food in them that I can safely eat and enjoy the experience of eating the baked shell as well.
I just looked on eBay and saw that MyKitchCo carries these. The current listing number is 270503493021. Some of you might want to take a peek. My oven isn't working and these will fit easily into my toaster oven and that is great!

Windchimes, what are the tortilla shells made of, wheat? corn? I have never seen a tortilla shell. Is it just the rounds I am used to seeing, or is a shell different?

You can put in these any type of ready-made soft tortilla that you like and can eat (flour, corn, light corn, wheat, etc.). It bakes into the shape of the fluted pan. This gives you a nice baked crisp tortilla shell to fill with whatever you like, like a bowl.
You can also use this to make baked tortilla chips and break the shell apart and into pieces once crispy. Saves having to cut up tortillas and put them on a cookie sheet to be baked.
Typically this shape is used for a salad in a Mexican restaurant, though I fill mine with anything I can tolerate, including homemade chili with soy cheese on top.
Just use your imagination and consider the baked shell a serving dish that you can eat... and no serving dish to wash!
