Yeah, that’s a much more open vee shape than I recall from when my mother got a “taco making” set in the late ‘70s, the sides were maybe an inch apart at the top of the shell. Maybe you, or Charlie, could bend them to be more closed? Unless they’re stainless steel, I suspect that whatever plating is on them would crack and peel, so maybe not a great idea.

I tried to bend them but when I did, the spacing between them wasn't even on both sides so I bent them back.  Since I don't really have anything to lose, I could try again.  When I ordered them, I looked for ones like i remembered but didn't see any.  PS wouldn't you know? When I looked again just now, I did see some but they didn't have handles so I'd need to use tongs to take them out.  Considering how much oil it takes to submerge them, I will just stick to frying them flat.
