2. To the meat and onions , add the chipotle, cumin, and smoked paprika and toast the spices for 1-2 mins. Stir in the water and tomato paste. Mix well and simmer for ten mins.

Make the Taco Shell Cups

1. To a microwave plate lined with parchment paper, working in batches, add one tbsp. of the cheese, into four piles and microwave for fifty secs. To make sure that fifty secs works, test one first, for your particular microwave.
2. Remove each pile, using a spatula, and gently put into a mini muffin pan sprayed with nonstick spray.
3. Form it into a cup by using the end of the spatula handle, once the cheese is cook enough to touch. Do it quickly because they harden in secs! While you work on the remaining cups, allow to cool.

Assemble the Taco Cups
