Servings: 10
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Jack cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and toss the cheeses with the flour and garlic salt, to coat, and blend.
  • Line a cookie sheet with Parchment paper, and place about 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture on the parchment paper, and smooth the cheese mixture out into a circle about 5 inches by 5 inches.

  • I removed the cheese shells from the cookie sheet with a large spatula and had another spatula to help place it in the taco holder, and gently push down the center to form the shell.
  • Repeat these steps, until all shells have been baked and formed.
  • Let the shells cool completely, and then place them on a tray until time to serve. Fill with your favorite taco ingredients, and Enjoy!
