I have never had a stale one and they are so light that I can't imagine being able to come close to replicating them at home.
Those Taco Bell ones are so heavy and stiff they almost bite back!

Those Taco Bell ones are like that because they are made by a vendor and then sent along a long supply chain to each individual store. Then they sit on a shelf in a cardboard box. Then they are taken out of their plastic wrappers and set inside a serving tray for hours in a warming cabinet before being brought to the line. They used to be much better because they were made from stacks of corn tortillas. Those fresh corn tortillas were put in taco molds and deep fried in lard and those cooked taco shells were never more than a day old, in busy stores those shells were always less than 12 hours old. Because freshly fried taco shells are
always better.
