Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop the cheese onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving a few inches between each mound.
  • Press the cheese with your fingers to flatten the tops, so you have an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the top of your cheese mounds with low carb taco seasoning.
  • Bake in the oven for 8-12 minutes. You’ll know the cheese is done when it starts to brown along the edges.
  • Meanwhile, prepare 2 cups with a wooden spoon balancing on top (see photos above). Place paper towels under the cups to prevent a big mess.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cheese to cool for 1-2 minutes on your baking sheet.
  • Then, using a spatula, drape the cheese over the wooden spoon. If it’s hard to get a spatula under the cheese, it needs to crisp in the oven a little longer.
  • Allow the cheese shells to harden on the wooden spoon before removing.
  • Fill with your favorite taco ingredients and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cheese sliding off the spoon. The cheese must crisp to make these taco shells — if it doesn’t crisp before you hang it over your spoon, it will slide and melt off the spoon.
  • Reheating. Don’t reheat these, they will melt and make a big mess!
