  • To make the shells easier to stuff, microwave them for 30 seconds before filling them.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the shells, or they will be difficult to close.
  • If you are using a baking dish that is not nonstick, spray it with cooking spray before adding the shells.
  • Bake the shells for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the shells with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Conclusion:
