Answer:

Here’s an easy way to bake your own tortilla chips! Soft corn tortillas Preheat oven to 325 Fand place yellow corn tortillas on the wire rackBake until they begin to turn a darker color, about ten minutes, but remove immediately, as they will burn if left in the oven any longerTo make non-fat crispy taco shells, place each tortilla so that it is centered over two of the wires on the rack, placing the edges of the torillas under the other wiresBake as above – they will curl around in an upside-down 'U’ shape to make perfect taco shellsFrom DrNeal Pinckney, Healing Heart Foundation
Insulation is not typically black in colourMost often it is pink, white, grey, brown, yellow or greenSome colours are natural and some are dyes (pink, white and yellow)Often when insulation becomes black it is due to mold, though this only happens in small areas or it is patchy at bestThis may be an exception where all the insulation is moldyI'd take caution when re-entering this attic spaceYou may want professionals to remove it.
