- Stab with fork 7-8 times on each side to prevent air bubbles.
- Brush both sides with melted butter the place in the shallow dish of graham cracker crumbs and gently press down. Flip and repeat until shells are fully coated.
- Flip a cupcake pan upside down and stagger shells between the cups so they are in a Taco shape.
