Abstract: A taco shell (600) is produced using a rotary cutter (120) including a shaft (200), an outer blade (220) extending radially outward from the shaft (200) and a first inner blade (221-223) extending radially outward from the shaft (200). The outer blade (220) defines an interior area (230), enclosed by the outer blade (220), and an exterior area (235). The first inner blade (221- 223) is located in the interior area (230) and includes a plurality of teeth (240). A dough piece (125, 126) is cut from a dough sheet (100) with the outer blade (220), and a first arcuate line of depressions (520-522) is created in the dough piece (125, 126) with the plurality of teeth (240). The dough piece (125, 126) is folded to form a shaped dough piece, and the shaped dough piece is baked to produce a hard taco shell (600).
