Cheesy Shell Taco Bites

1. For Shells:

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

3. Using a tablespoon, scoop shredded cheese on to parchment and shape into a disk. Make sure each cheese disk does not touch the one next to it.

4. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 7 minutes.

5. Lift the melted cheese disks off of the parchment paper and press into mini-muffin tins. Let the cheese cool for 1-minute (or more) in the muffin tin so that they will hold their shape. Remove from muffin tin and set aside.

6. For the Taco Filling:

7. Cook hamburger until browned.

8. Drain the fat and stir in taco mix and 1/2 cup salsa/picante sauce.

9. Simmer for 3-5 minutes.

10. Assembly:

11. Spoon beef mixture in cooled cheese cups and top with the 3 shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, cubed avocados and cilantro.
