Cheese Shell Tacos

Cheese Shell Tacos

Recipe by Jake Laycock from tasty.co

Dinner 30 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 3 cups cheddar cheese, or cheese of choice, freshly shredded
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • ⅓ cup water, if needed

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Freshly shred the cheese. Place your cheese in neat piles on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 8 minutes, until all the individual shreds melt into one disc. Be careful not to let the cheese color too much.
  • Once they are all melted, let them cool for 2 minutes on your baking sheet, then lift them onto paper towels to blot off any excess grease.
  • To form the shells, lay them over a propped up utensil. (Or you can use anything in your kitchen, a wide bowl or saucepan could work too!) Set these aside to cool.
  • To make the taco filling, brown the ground beef on high heat. Make a well in the center, add in the onion, jalapeños, garlic, and sprinkle in the taco seasoning packet. Stir to combine. Add water if you need it for a nice saucy filling.
  • Use a fork to hold your cheese shell in place and fill with the beef mixture, and toppings of your choice.
  • Enjoy!
