How to Make It

Step-by-Step Instructions:

 

Make the Cheese Taco Shells:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• For each shell, spread ½ cup of shredded cheddar into a circle.
• Bake until melted and edges are crispy.
• Let cool slightly, then shape into taco shells (drape over a spoon handle or similar).
• Allow to cool completely so they hold their shape.

 

Prepare the Ground Meat Filling:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey.
• When partially cooked, add diced onion and all seasonings (including Pam’s Prep).
• Stir well and cook until fully browned and fragrant.
• Drain excess oil to avoid soggy shells.

 

Assemble the Tacos:

• Start with lettuce at the base of each shell.
• Add the seasoned meat mixture.
• Top with more lettuce, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and salsa.
• Garnish with sour cream and green onions if desired.

 

Final Touch

Let taco shells bake longer for extra crunch!
(The longer your taco shells cook, the crispier they will be.)
