Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the cheese in heaps of ⅓ of a cup on the parchment paper, and spread each out into the shape of a 4-5 inch circle. Be sure to leave some space between each circle, as they will expand a bit as they melt.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, rotate the tray in the oven, and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until the edges are beginning to brown very slightly, and the cheese takes on a lace-like appearance.
  • Let the cheese circles cool for a few minutes, and while still pliable, peel them from the parchment, and hang them over a wooden spoon that is held between two jars, cups, etc.
  • Let the cheese hang until hardened and completely cooled into the shape of a taco shell.

Notes

Grated cheddar is recommended, but any similar type of grated cheese will work. Even a blend of different grated cheese can be used.
