I bought these mostly for the shells.  I did not really need the other things in the kit, but the kits are cheaper than buying the same number of shells in my grocery store.  I love the soft taco tortilla bowls.  I use them for egg bowls (add some spinach, cheese, bacon, eggs etc), I use them for chinese chicken bowls (in place of lettuce for lettuce wraps).  They are great.  I usually eat 2 at a time with various fillings.  They are easy to handle and they don't leak.  Will buy again for sure.
