Equipment

Ingredients

▢ 12 standing taco shells
▢ 1 lb lean ground beef
▢ 1 ounce package taco seasoning
▢ 2 cups marinara sauce
▢ 1 10 ounce can tomatoes with chiles drained
▢ 7 ounces spaghetti noodles cooked and drained
▢ ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Prepare taco shells according to package directions and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain off fat and return to the pan.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the taco seasoning, marinara sauce and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, cooking for 5 minutes or until a nice thick sauce has formed.
Turn off heat and add noodles, tossing until fully incorporated.
Distribute the spaghetti in the prepared taco shells and top with parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

Don't Assemble Too Early. The taco shells will get soft quickly so try to fill them just before serving. If serving for a crowd or party, make up a few at a time or serve them up separately and let everyone fill their own.
Choose the Right Taco Shells. Standing shells are essential! The spaghetti mixture is bulky and regular taco shells don't have a wide enough opening and will break.
Customize the Toppings. Serve the toppings up in bowls so everyone can add what they want on top.
