The upper edge of the tortilla is then turned in to form the end wall of FIG. 1 and the lower edge of the tortilla is similarly turned in to form the lower end wall of FIG. 9, thereby closing off the ends of the chamber to completely enclose the food filler.  The temporary fastener is then inserted through the tortilla product as described above.

At this point, the tortilla still retains its highly pliable, soft state and would quickly fall apart if one attempted to lift it by the exposed portion of the stick.  However, the product is then cooked in a manner to cause the tortilla to obtain a semi-rigid, self-sustaining state.  In that state, the tortilla is not as crisp as a cooked taco shell, for example, but is in an intermediate state of hardness between a cooked taco shell and the original, soft, pliable tortilla.  It can be described as having a hardness similar to that of a crescent roll, for want of a better description.
