I use large, round slices of provolone cheese. They're the perfect size & shape for taco shells. They make the house smell funky though. I use plastic coated paper plates sprayed with a bit of Pam. After the first one the plate is greasy enough so no reapplication is necessary. My DH & I can enjoy taco night with the kids. Sometimes they'll even eat our shells. I use Jalapeno Jack for chips. This is a great idea.

Oh, my! These are too stinking good! I made little 'crackers' by measuring the cheese in tablespoons. Try adding some finely chopped herbs and garlic to the cheese before nuking...chives, basil, and rosemary were all delicious.

I gave these a try the other night and they were AWESOME! I have an 1100 watt microwave, so I nuked them for 1 min. and 15 seconds and then let it sit for about 5 seconds, peeled the cheese off and put it on a paper towel and then just shaped it into a taco with my hands. I only had to hold it for a few seconds before it stayed. These were better than regular taco shells in my opinion. I ate the extras just plain, lol. The next night I used a bowl to shape them into taco salad bowls for the leftover taco meat and toppings.

These are very good. I did not do the shells, but made plenty of chips. I nibble on them at night while I am reading. Do not use the Press and seal wrap. It will melt and you will eat the plastic wrap. I have since bought parchment paper and will try that.

Brian, just posted my first picture and it was your Low Carb Taco Shells. These are without a doubt the best low carb idea yet. Not only did these satisfy our craving for "crunch" my DH was hungry for taco's. These little babies are habit forming. After having these for dinner one evening, I made "chips" with this recipe the next day. I could not find anything in my kitchen that I thought was round and small enough to look like a taco. So as soon as I removed the cheese from the oven, I just held together two opposite ends of the parchment paper so the cheese was shaped like a taco. I held the cheese in place with the parchment attached for about 1 minute, just long enough for the cheese to cool slightly and retain the shape, then removed the parchment. Amazing!!! My method may be too time consuming if you are making these for a dinner party, but just for the two of us, it took no time at all. Thanks so much for posting. I hope everyone tries these!

This was a great idea! I made these with cheddar cheese...although I may not have spread the cheese out enough as my shells did not get very crispy. However they were still delicious and let me enjoy tacos with the family without feeling the need for regular shells. Thanks for posting.

Yum, yum! These turned out beautifully! I used these for mini taco appetizers, and people just popped them into their mouth. I had jalapeño jack cheese, grated, and added tomato, green onion, cilantro , and a dot of sour cream. All gone within minutes. Thank you, Brian.

Awesome!! This was a real treat, and a change of pace for me while on Atkins. The first ones I made were a little too thick and ended up kind of soggy, but the next batch turned out perfectly, I made them thinner. They were crunchy and held their shape well. I also made some with a monteray jack/cheddar/mozzerella mix and they were great! Thanks for a winner!

This was the greatest idea I have ever heard!! Tastes great, although I must say I went through and entire bag of cheese before I got it right. I could not get it off the paper. I fried it stove top and turned out perfectZ! Thank you

These are AWESOME! The kids love them as chips, and they make tacos yumilicious!! Super simple. Parchment paper is definetly the way to go. I have to say, it was good to eat a more "normal" food during SouthBeach Phase 1 thanks to these taco shells!!
