For the microwave method, rinse a small flour tortilla and a 16-ounce glass under warm running water.
Place the damp tortilla inside the glass, molding it to the side to create a shell shape.
Microwave on high for approximately 60 seconds.
Carefully remove the hot glass from the microwave. Use a fork to gently pry the finished taco shell out of the glass.
For the toaster method, cut a small flour tortilla in half.
Place one half of the tortilla into a toaster slot and toast until firm and lightly browned.
Carefully remove the toasted shell, pinch the bottom to create a pocket, and fill with cooked ground beef and shredded cheese.
For the avocado pit hack, place an avocado on a cutting board.
Screw a corkscrew into the center of the avocado pit.
Pull up on the corkscrew handles to easily extract the pit.
