taco shell question
 

I just tried this taco shell idea of nuking cheese in the microwave and I'm very excited about it. However the cheese taste is too overpowering to me. I would like to keep the crustiness taco shell likeness but maybe have it be milder or blander. Anyone found a different cheese to work this? I used the mexican mix of cheddar and monterey jack. I think I've just od'd on cheese lately.

I fry up an egg real flat and use it

Maybe try a mild cheddar mixed with some mozza?

Mix it half and half with shredded Parmesean, just make sure you use shredded and not powdered stuff :) It really helps to make it milder.

I agree with the parmesan. It does help alot. I use the shredded, not the grated in a can. Yuck!

The way I learned to do it a long time ago was with mild cheddar.

Spray a small nonstick skillet with Pam. Put a small pile of cheddar in it and cook until it spreads out and bubbles. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn, but it will form a solid circle in the pan.
When crispy, remove from pan and curve into taco shell shape to cool.

It really is very good. :)

armywife3- are the low carb taco shells / tortilla wraps available where you live?

yes they are but they aren't low carb enough for me. The La tortilla ones still have a decent amount of carbs in them from what I've seen and unfortunately I can't do net carbs b/c I won't lose that way
