Ingredients:
Prep:
Place a handful of coconut flakes in a bowl, add a few drops of green food coloring and a little bit of water (this helps blend the food coloring better). Mix together, but don’t overmix! Keep a few flakes white to look more like lettuce!
Separate your “Taco” ingredients. This makes it easier for your little ones to help assemble them!
- Coconut “lettuce”
- Red mini M&Ms “tomatoes”
- Yellow and orange sprinkle jimmies “cheese”
- Oreos “taco shell”
Taco assembly:
Separate your Oreo cookie and scrape off the frosting.
Using a knife, gently saw and press down to remove 1/4 of one of the Oreo cookies.
Place the cut cookie on top of the other cookie and use as a guide to cut 1/4 off of the bottom cookie.
Flip the Oreos over to show the image (you want to keep the smooth side facing out to make it look more like a taco)!
Scoop a spoonful of chocolate icing onto the edge of a spoon, and press it onto one of the cookies.
Press the other cookie against the icing to form your taco. Add lettuce (coconut flakes).
Add tomatoes (mini M&M’s) and cheese (sprinkles). You can leave them like this or add a squiggle of white icing (sour cream).
The finished Taco Cookies! These were super easy and fun to make and very tasty too! They were also a huge hit with everyone! Perfect dessert to take to your next Cinco de Mayo celebration!
