Default The Recipe

Ok, This Recipe came from the sweetest ladeeee yall, and even though she says mine look good, you have to be a braniac to come up with this one, and She did, so make Doubly Doubly Doubly Sure that you send Irisda a big ol Shout out for her Quick on the Draw Low Carb Out of the Box thinking for these Taco Shells. All I did was follow her instructions and take a picture.
Thankkkkkkkk Youuuuuuuuuu Irisda!

The thing that makes this a great recipe is that it is not a net carb type deal. You only have to count the total carbs. The shells are made from nuthing but cheese. That is it, So if you find some shredded cheese that has no carbs, then guess what, you can endulge until your heart is content. heheehhe.
In my case The cheese I bought had 1 carb per serving, and there were 8 in the bag, i used half a bag to make one. so it was 4 carbs per taco because some of that i used to top the ground beef. as well.

Now for the method I dont do good on recipes I just kinda wing it usually and babysit it till it is finished) Irisda has exact numbers and such to make a particular size/portion ok. But I think that you should be fine doing it this way too)
I sprayed some butter pam on a plate. Then I filled that plate with shredded cheese, enough to where there were no gaps at all so that i wouldnt have holes in my taco shell. Once you have a nice big area covered Stick it in the microwave, i put mine on about 3minutes and 30 secs because my microwave is about 7 yrs old and i know its not as powerful as most. when i pulled it out it was still pretty gooey, butwhat you do is you use a spatula to cool it off by fanning it, if after fanning it, it still is kinda gooey, stick it back in the microwave(you probly have a microwave like mine heheheh). Ok Now, after you stick it back in there watch it, it should start to brown because it is over cooking, that is the idea,
Note:
If you have ever put cheese in something before and you forgot it, and it got to hard for you, that is actually your goal on this!

When you pull it out and start to fan it, you will be able to tell that it is getting ready to turn hard because it will.

Spray some pam on your spatula and use that to pick up your taco shell then bend it into the taco shape, you have to be kinda quick on it so that it wont get to hard to quick. you also have to let it cool down enough so that it doesnt burn your hand too. its a judgement call basically. after you have done that put your shell on another plate while it is cooling, it will continue to cool and also harden up more. i put my spatula on top of it to keep the taco shell shape that way it didnt open up on me.

I had already prepared some ground beef to fill it with,
Ok get ready for this, Taco Sauce has no carbs and no sugar either,
The taco bell namebrand doesnt as far as i know, but check again and make sure its the same for you in your area store.

I filled my shell with the leftover shredded cheese, Taco Sauce, a couple of jalapenos, some romaine lettuce strips,
And I had the best new creation
Orange Cream Soda!
Yall have got to try that it is running neck and neck with my Root beer Float!
Oh yea i called myself making nachos and tacos,
but after the tacos I was so full i couldnt do any damage to the nachos,
but i did take a pic of those too.
