SEASONED TACO SHELLS

SEASONED TACO SHELLS
Olivia found this great recipe on the Food Network site.  It is a super way to jazz up the same old same old taco shells.  If your taco night gets a little repetitive, this could be a great way to step outside the box and create a tasty alternative to the plain hard shelled taco.

The recipe is simple and straight forward.  Just brush your standard hard shelled taco shells with a little vegetable oil then sprinkle with the seasoning mixture.  The combination of the cumin, coriander, and chili powder gives this recipe just the right amount of kick to make your taste buds wake up and say, "Fiesta time!"  Enjoy!
