Instructions
Tacos
- Combine tequila, lime juice, pineapple juice, chili powder, jalepeno, cumin, garlic, salt, pepper, and turkey in a large zip top bag. Marinate in refrigerator 12 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium. Grill turkey 6-8 minutes on each side or until turkey is done. Slice turkey and serve with desired toppings in cheddar cheese shells.
Cheddar Cheese Shells
- Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap a yardstick or ruler in foil, and suspend it between two cans.
- Divide the cheese into 8 equal parts (a little over 1/3 cup each). Spread the cheese into 4 inch circles on the parchment paper making sure that no cheese is off the parchment (it will stick). You may need to do this in batches.
- Bake each batch at 400 for 6-8 minutes or until melted and beginning to brown.
- Using a spatula, carefully remove the cheese circles and drape them over the ruler suspension to form shells. Allow to hang until cooled. Repeat with remaining cheese.
