Let’s face it; when you want to get your Taco Tuesday on, lettuce cups are so NOT the answer. With these easy cheesy shells, you can make lots of meals into a taco – Sloppy Joe’s, shredded BBQ meat, tuna salad, these would all make great fillings!
You can also try a different shredded cheese like Parmesan, and you can even put yours in this snazzy taco truck holder!
Wonderful idea…never thought of that??
WI’ll they work in microwave . If so, how long?
Yes! You can make cheese-only shells in the microwave. Use parchment paper and because time varies by microwave according to wattage, expect roughly a minute to 1.5 minutes. Regardless, stop the microwave once the cheese stops boiling. Open it up, and quickly take it out and bend it into a taco. I hope this helps!
Mine always turn out greasy. What am I doing wrong?
Try spacing out the cheese more than I did so it’s a little more wispy. That seems to help.
Hi Mammie! Great question! Be sure to check out the helpful tips on getting these crispier in this video! https://www.facebook.com/Hip2Keto/videos/831949883832558/
Something that works for me is I purchased the plastic clothes hangers that are fat and hang them on the cabinet knobs. Then I drape the shells over them to harden. Doesn’t take up counter space.
Hi Brenda! I never would have thought of that! Thanks for the tip❤
