Easy Parmesan Crisps can be made into these clever Caesar Salad Tacos.

Did you know one tablespoon of Parmesan Cheese has a mere 20 calories? That’s one crisp!

Crush these crisps on top of salads, side dishes like risotto – anywhere you crave a rich Umami flavor-boost.
It’s fun to bend them into shapes while warm – like these fun taco shells.
