Steps:
- Place 1/3 cup of cheese in thin layer on parchment paper.
- Microwave on high for one minute, or until cheese is bubbly.
- While the cheese is still flexible with parchment paper still attached, bend the cheese over a round object to give it a taco shell shape.
- The smaller in diameter the object is, the closer to a normal taco shell shape you will have.
- Let the cheese cool while around the object.
- When it has cooled, peel it from the parchment paper.
- Use this to make tacos, with normal fillings such as taco seasoned meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream, or you can also make smaller version of these shells to serve as low carb chips.
Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: For a more authentic flavor, use Mexican cheese blends such as queso Oaxaca, queso Chihuahua, or queso fresco.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shells, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
- Be careful not to overcook the shells: Overcooked shells will be brittle and more likely to break.
- Use a variety of toppings: Taco shells can be filled with a variety of meats, vegetables, and sauces. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
- Make it a meal: Serve taco shells with a side of rice, beans, or salad for a complete meal.
Conclusion:
Low-carb taco shells are a delicious and easy way to enjoy your favorite Mexican dishes without all the carbs. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make your own taco shells in no time. So next time you're craving tacos, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
