Ingredients

  • 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, divide the cheese mixture into 8 equal parts, spreading each part into a thin circle about 5 inches in diameter.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese has melted and crisped up.
  5. Remove from the oven and let the cheese taco shells cool for a few minutes.
  6. Carefully lift each cheese taco shell off the parchment paper and hang them over a wooden spoon or similar utensil, allowing them to cool and harden into a taco shell shape.
  7. Once the cheese taco shells have hardened, fill them with your desired taco fillings such as seasoned ground beef or chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, avocado, and sour cream.
  8. Enjoy your low carb keto cheese taco shells!
