3tbspSour Cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200 C (390 F).
In a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil. Add the ground pork with the paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until brown.
Meanwhile, line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place six 2 tbsp portions of the grated Parmesan cheese onto the baking tray into round flat circles, about 13 cm (5-inch) in diameter. You may require a second baking tray.
Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the Parmesan cheese melts and turns slightly golden around the edges. Remove from the oven. Using a flat spatula, move each cheese disc into a well of a cupcake tray. Pinch the sides together in one section to form a cup. Let the cheese cool down and solidify.
Once the pork is cooked, spoon into the cheese taco cups. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and your favourite garnishes.
Serve warm immediately. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Making the cheese cups needs to be done in a tray that has heatproof sections so that the cheese can harden while it's cooling down into a cup shape. Cupcake or muffin trays are the best for this type of thing.Instead of using ground pork, you can use any type of ground meat you like. Beef, chicken, lamb, and mushrooms all make great substitutes for each other, depending on what you can eat according to your diet.Sour cream is a delicious topping, but feel free to top with extra cheese, a little Greek yogurt, or even yogurt mixed with garlic and cucumber for more of a Lebanese feel.
