Taco Filled Shells, Take 2!

I heard that this was yummy when Josie made it a few months ago, but didn't get to have it with my family. I decided to give it another whirl. You can view Josie's original post here.
I used Mexican blend cheese, and salsa only (like Josie did). I also used reduced fat cream cheese in an effort to reduce the fat content a little.

To serve:
Thaw, remove foil, bag of cheese, and plastic wrap. Recover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Uncover, top with cheese and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Enjoy!
