I've been making these on a keto diet as Taco shells. You place the cheese on a sheet of parchment, I just spread it out to about the size and shape I want (round) Sprinkle with cumin to give it that good taco taste. Then after you bake it till a golden brown color take it off the parchment with a large spatula and set it over a spoon handle or in a taco tray to form. I fill mine with shrimp browned with garlic and cumin and flavored with a squeeze of lime right before I fill the shells. If I were to make these every night no one would complain! -
What a great idea! I was just about to make tacos for lunch & saw this & since I'm a sucker for cheese, what could be better? Yummy! Just wish I'd made more ??
