The tacos look dynamite, mcadeowner! I'm a big cheese fan and I can never have too many tacos.

If your "shell" is big enough, you can flop it over an overturned bowl or coffee cup and let it cool there, it will form into a bowl shape that can be used to make a taco salad (or anything really).

I use a slice of american cheese in the microwave and make a bowl out of it. then server Chicken/Crab/Shrimp/Egg/Tuna salad in it. Presentation is everything.

I'm trying to think of something that one could have that could help you make the taco shape without havint to wait for the "sweet spot" just before it cools to fold it. I'm thinking a roling pin might have to great a diameter, but I can't think of anything else. Of course, if you got premade taco shells, you could just drape yours over one of those, and you wouldn't have to let it cool first, but who wants to keep those around the house?

Mine didn't work.

The cheese in the middle of the plate didn't melt as fast as the edges. Did I use too much cheese? I really just tried to use just enough to thoroughly cover the plate.

Well, I had this weird cheese-crusty "donut" with gooey center on top of a plate of taco meat for dinner last night. DH thought I was nuts. I broke the crusty part into "chips" so it wasn't a complete flop! mmmm, chips!

Default For the kiddies

Hey, thanks for opening up new worlds of possibilities!

Two things I thought of:

1. Balance a rolling pin between two cups/bowls/jars etc so it is suspended like a balance beam, then drape your 'sweet spot' cheese over this for the shape.

2. These are great made 'little' (like a tea saucer size) with the same procedure, for the kids! My two are littttttle and can't go anywhere near eating a big 'un taco shell. so if I make ones that are perfect fit for 'their' size hands they are THRILLED

Thanks a bunch again

Alicia

We had tacos a few nights ago and all loved them! Only thing i did different was that i made my shells in a nonstick skillet on medium heat! effect was the same and it allowed me to control the round shape of the shell. Thanks for the idea!
