Taco! Taco! (Like Pizza!Pizza! Minus the Toga) HCG Phase 3

Found here





Pictures: Hint– They’re all Tacos. I know. I continue to astound.

This is, by far, my most FAVORITE use of either cauliflower or zucchini dough for making Mexican foods… and these are induction-friendly.
You know those taco shells you buy from the store which are not only CORN (snort), but they’re usually brittle and break in half as soon as your luscious reader teeth make contact with them.
BOO!
I say to you, on this Cinco de Mayo, don’t you deserve a crisp, yet pliable taco shell? A taco shell which holds what you stuff into it and still has the crisper delivery? If so, follow me, and I will deliver unto you taco beauty.
Taco Shells
from Zucchini :
1 large zucchini, shredded
2 eggs
2 cups cheese
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Grease 2 cookie sheets.
Cut ends from zucchini. Shred. Mix with egg and cheese. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, make 6-8” circles on greased cookie sheet(s). Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes. Loosen and flip the circles. Bake for another 5 minutes at 450 degrees.
Take hot patties and wrap around a rolling pin. When cool enough to handle and with form, let cool on a rack for 6-8 hours in a cool oven. (To hold the shape, if you have those stackable racks, you can inset the edges through the racks of a cooling rack or your oven and allow them to hang down. They may curl slightly. Don’t panic! They should be still pliable enough the next day to open without breaking).
Makes about 6 shells.
from Cauliflower:
1 16 ounce bag of cauliflower, shredded, chopped or riced
3 eggs
3 cups cheese

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Grease 2 cookie sheets.
Cook or thaw frozen cauliflower. Shred, rice or chop. Mix with egg and cheese. Using 1/3 cup scoop, make 12 6-8” circles on greased cookie sheet(s). Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes. Loosen and flip the circles. Bake for another 5 minutes at 450 degrees.
Take hot patties and wrap around a rolling pin. When cool enough to handle and with form, let cool on a rack for 6-8 hours in a cool oven.

Makes about 12 shells.
Notes:
Store on rack until crisp and then in an open container to prevent moisture.
