Tacos are a favorite standby in most households, and it's easy to see why: They're customizable, delicious and quick to make. But even the most-trusted menu items need a bit of freshening up from time to time to keep things interesting. What better way to do that than with chocolate? You'll forget all about the meat and vegetable fillings when chocolate and ice cream are involved — and everyone will be looking forward to a repeat of taco night. Here's how to do it.

Get an oval carton of ice cream. The "taco shells" will be chocolate, so be sure your ice cream will complement them. Oh, who are we kidding? Everyone knows everything goes with chocolate. Pick your favorite flavor!

Slice the rounded ends off, straight through the container. Then cut 5 to 6 half-circle slices (each slice should be the shape of a taco).

Lay the slices out on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, then set it in the freezer until the slices are firm.
