Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Lettuce
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 Avocado
- 0.25 cup Low sodium taco sauce
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the cheddar cheese into 8 even piles on the baking sheet. Flatten each pile to form a circle about 4-5 inches in diameter, making sure they have space between them.
Sprinkle each cheese circle with a pinch of paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges darken slightly and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 2 minutes on the baking sheet. Carefully lift each cheese circle with a spatula and drape over the handle of a wooden spoon or similar object to form shell shapes. Allow them to cool completely to harden.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat.
Return the beef to the skillet. Add the taco seasoning and water. Stir until evenly coated and simmer for 5 minutes.
Finely chop the lettuce and tomato. Dice the avocado.
To assemble the tacos, fill each cheese shell with a generous scoop of seasoned beef, followed by lettuce, tomato, avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a drizzle of taco sauce.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crunchiness of the cheese shell.
