Ingredients

Servings 4

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place four 1/4 cup piles of cheese, spacing 2-inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press or sprinkle cheese around so it makes an even layer in a circular shape. Can sprinkle seasonings like garlic powder on top if desired.

Tip
A silicone mat will work too. If using sliced cheese, just use 1-2 cheese slices and cut the edges to make a circle.
Bake at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Tip
If you remove them from the oven before the edges turn brown, your taco shells won't be as crispy.
Let the cheese cool on the baking tray for 1-2 minutes or until it is firm enough to lift and hold its circular shape but still pliable. Lift up the cheese circle and place it over the handle of a spatula or spoon balanced on two cups or upside down, over a taco holder. Let cool completely to harden into this taco shell shape.

Tip
Blot extra grease with a paper towel if needed.
