Ingredients

Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups
Ground beef
1 pound
Taco seasoning
2 tablespoons
Water
2 tablespoons
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste
Fresh lime juice
from 1 lime
Cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup
Sour cream
1/2 cup
Avocado, sliced
1 medium

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Divide the shredded cheddar cheese into 4 equal portions on the baking sheet, shaping them into circles, approximately 4 inches in diameter.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes until the cheese shells are firm enough to lift.
  6. In the meantime, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
  7. Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is well coated with seasoning.
  8. To assemble the tacos, place a cheese shell on a plate and fill it with the cooked ground beef. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
  9. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful flavors!
