Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease ten 1-cup capacity Texas muffin holes. Open tortilla packet and discard sachet. Microwave tortillas in pouch on HIGH (100%) for 30 seconds (this will make tortillas more flexible). Using scissors, cut a small slit from the edge to the centre of each tortilla. Wrap to form a cone and gently ease into each muffin hole. Bake for 10 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
