Ingredients
- 2 cups finely shredded Cheddar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Suspend a ruler, wooden spoon, or chopsticks on top of two glasses or mason jars (you will make a little bridge).
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded Cheddar on the baking sheet to form a circle 6 inches in diameter. Repeat with another 1/2 cup of cheese, making 2 circles.
- Bake the first batch until the cheese melts and turns light brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Using a spatula, transfer the cheese circles to the suspended ruler, spoon, or chopsticks to form taco shells. Let them hang until firm, then carefully remove. Repeat with the remaining cheese.
- Fill the shells with your favorite taco fillings.
