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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Sprinkle each cheese circle with a pinch of paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges darken slightly and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat.
Step 7
Return the beef to the skillet. Add the taco seasoning and water. Stir until evenly coated and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Finely chop the lettuce and tomato. Dice the avocado.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve immediately to enjoy the crunchiness of the cheese shell.
