CHEDDAR CHEESE TACO SHELLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap a yardstick or ruler with aluminum foil and suspend it between two 28-ounce cans.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded Cheddar on the baking sheet to form a circle 6 inches in diameter. Repeat with another 1/2 cup of cheese, making 2 circles. Bake the first batch until the cheese melts and turns light brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Using a spatula, transfer the cheese circles to the suspended yardstick and drape them over to form taco shells. Let them hang until firm, then carefully remove. Repeat with the remaining cheese.
• Fill the shells with your favorite taco fillings.

CRISPY TACO BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Spray a mini-muffin pan lightly with vegetable oil.
• Seperate wonton wrappers and place one in each cup of the pan. Using the pampered chef mini tart shaper, press each wonton into the cup, keeping the cup area open. (If you don't have the tart shaper, just press down with your fingers, being careful not to tear the wonton).
• Combine all filling ingredients into a mixing bowl, and blend until smooth.
• Fill the wonton cups with a teaspoon each of the filling mixture.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are slightly brown. Garnish with toppings of your choice.
