I LOVE taco Tuesday! Its a tradition where I am from, so if I make tacos at home they are definitely on a Tuesday!
I sometimes have leftover taco meat and this is a great way to reinvent your leftovers and keep your food exciting. I like to serve this as an appetizer or even as a “game day” finger food! You can also play around with the fillings and make your own version of this!
Have fun and enjoy!

Love your recipes
Never thought of doing shells this way it looks yummy and I do think that this would be a hit at my house. Can’t wait to try it
How deliciously creative you are! I can’t wait to make these. Thank you for sharing❤️
hey 👋 I Made your stuffed shells tonight and they turned out amazing!!!! I did tweak them to my own liking for instance I used turkey sausage with a small amount of hamburger and then I added Northern beans that I had made into a paste with some seasonings. I’d wanted more protein and fiber in the meal and that is why I did that, and additionally I wanted the meat to stay formed into the shell better it turned out great I’m really thankful. Also also I made my dip with Greek yogurt taco seasoning and a little sugar free yum yum sauce to fit into my Food goals . Thank you for sharing the whole family loved it !🤩
Hi! Can you tell me how you did the northern bean paste please?! I love the idea of more protein and fiber! Thank you!!
Thank you so much! 🙂

This is genius, can’t wait to try it!
Hello
These look amazing! Would love to try but do not have an air fryer. Any tips on ulcerative ways to cook these?
I would love to try. Looks super yummy. But I don’t have airfryer. Help
What seasoning did you use to season the meat??

Made these with Impossible Burger and they so good that I died. Im literally typing this from the afterlife. I made them with my better half and well as you can imagine he died from the goodness also. 11 out if q0 would make again.
Haha, you made my day! I’m so happy you liked them 🙂
These look great! I want to make them, BUT, I don’t have an air fryer. Just curious if anyone has experimented making these in the oven? Will they get as crispy? Thanks!
