How to Make Keto Taco Shells

1. Preheat your oven to 200C/390F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. Balance a long-handled wooden spoon over two mugs to set your shells (you can also use aluminum foil to make a mold or line the edge of your dish drainer with parchment paper).
3. Make eight equal-sized piles of cheese, leaving plenty of room between them for spreading.
4. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has stopped bubbling and is brown (you may need to cook one cookie sheet at a time, depending on how much space you have to set the shells). If your cheese isn’t cooked enough, your shells will be chewy instead of crispy.
5. Use a spatula to gently remove the cheese and place it over the wooden spoon. Leave to cool for 3-5 minutes until set.
6. Once cooled, fill with your favorite Mexican toppings, such as; Pork Carnitas, Guacamole, and Pico Di Gallo.
