Taco Monster Mouths

Serves 6
2 plum tomatoes, cut lengthwise into 3 pieces
12 large pimiento-stuffed green olives
3 slices {1/2 ounce each} American cheese
6 Old El Paso Stand 'N Stuff Taco Shells
1/2 pound lean {at least 80 percent} ground beef
2 tablespoons Old El Paso 40 percent less sodium taco seasoning mix
1/3 cup water
Shredded lettuce, if desired
Cut slit into 1 side of each olive to make a flat side. Cut each of the slices of cheese in half vertically in a zigzag line to look like teeth.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange taco shells on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until hot.
Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked, drain. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water. Reduce heat to medium, cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until water has evaporated.
To Assemble:
Fill tacos with desired filling so that meat os on the top. Placing each taco on it's side on serving plate, insert 1 tomato slice into meat filling to look like a tongue. Place 1 cheese slice with zigzag edge toward meat along top side of taco between the shell and the filling. Place 2 olives, flat sides down, to look like eyes on top of shell.
