A fun fusion of Italian and Mexican flavors—taco shells filled with Italian-seasoned meat, cheese, and maybe marinara or pesto. Unexpected and delicious.

Ingredients

    1/2 pound Italian sausage 1 pound ground beef

    1 (16 ounce) jar tomato pasta sauce

    1 teaspoon sugar

    16 taco shells, heated

    3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

    1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning

Method

    Combine the ground beef and Italian sausage in a large heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease, and season meat with Italian seasoning.

     

    Heat the pasta sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through. When the sauce is warm, stir in the sugar.

     

    Fill taco shells with the meat mixture, spoon pasta sauce over, and top with mozzarella cheese.
