Carrot Taco Shells

I stuffed my healthy taco shells recipe with green salad, sprouts, grilled chicken and a drizzle of home made olive oil mayonnaise. Of course any regular taco filling will work very well with this recipe. I have always been a big fan of diced grilled beef in my tacos with red onion and capsicum and that is my other option. I love this recipe for dinner. It is simple, low carb and full of good complex carbs! I made 4 medium size taco shell of about 15 cm (6 inch) diameter.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup grated carrot, packed (about 200 g) + 1/2 cup tap water to cook
• 1/2 cup grated cheese (full fat or lowfat, edam, mozarella or cheddar (75g)
• 2 eggs, size 6
• 3 tablespoon Gluten Free Oat Flour
• Salt, pepper - if desired

Instructions 

1. Wash, peel and grate carrots.
2. Place them into a bowl cover with 1/2 cup tap water. Microwave 5 minutes. 
3. Drain and place the cooked grated carrots into a clean absorbent paper or towel.
4. Firmly squeeze out the extra water until the grated carrot are don't contain any water. You can also pat dry the cooked grated carrots between two sheets f absorbent paper to prevent too much moisture. This is a very important step. If the carrots are too moist the tacos will not hold well together.
5. Place into a bowl and add the grated cheese, eggs, oat flour, salt and pepper. Combine until it forms a sort of batter.
