I found this recipe today on Yahoo and it looks so good, I just had to post it. It says that it is only 3 carbs, but I don't know how that could be. I would use the Whole Wheat tortillas to bring the carb count down as much as possible. I love Mexican Food and it is the hardest thing for me to stay away from, so I eat taco meat and cheese at least once a week. I think this would be great for a change, plus it still looks relatively healthy. You can also substitute shredded chicken for an even lighter meal.
Ingredients

Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Microwave tortillas on HIGH 30 sec. or until softened. Press 1 tortilla into each of eight medium muffin cups to form a bowl. Carefully fold edges of tortilla back to keep an opening for the filling. Bake 10 min.
2. Meanwhile, brown meat in large skillet on medium heat; drain. Stir in salsa; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 10 min. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture into each tortilla bowl.
3. Top evenly with cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Drizzle with dressing.
Yield: 4 servings

I looked up the carb count for these flour tortillas and they are 38 gms. The 3 gm might be the filling count.
I use Mama Lupe's low carb tortillas the regular size have 3 gm Net carbs.
What a GREAT idea!!!
I think I'm going to try making them with "Flatout wraps". They're low carb and yummy. I like the idea of making a cup in a muffin tin :)
I was going to make tacos tomorrow night so I may just try this.
I was going to make cheese shells, but these look too cute :)
