  • 1 ¼ cups warm water
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • Pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Combine the cornmeal, warm water, cumin, cheese, butter and salt, mixing thoroughly. Let mixture stand for five minutes.
  • Knead with your hands for about 3 minutes moistening your hands with water as you work. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Form small balls with the dough. Spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray. Place one ball in each muffin cup and press with your fingers to make small shells.
  • Meanwhile mix the avocado, lime juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes. Place them on a serving plate, then fill each bite with shredded beef and garnish with avocado pieces and cilantro leaves. Serve WARM!
