For umbrellas, place two tortillas on a baking sheet and brush both sides of the shells with butter.  Bake for one minute.  Remove the warmed tortillas from oven and place them on top of four flipped custard cups. Pinch in the sides to form a bowl shape and bake for another 7-8 minutes or until crisp.  Remove your tortilla cups from the custard cups and set them aside to cool.

Slice the meat in long thin strips.  Add to a bowl with coriander, mint, corn and red pepper and shallot.  Add your dressing and toss, scoop into umbrellas.
6. Serve and enjoy!
