Possibly the best version of this meal I’ve ever created, it’s scrumptious | March 16, 2025

Taco stuffed shells with queso bring together the best of two beloved dishes—tacos and pasta. These hearty shells are perfect for family dinners or gatherings with friends, as they offer a cozy, comforting meal that everyone will love. This dish is a fusion of Mexican flavors and Italian comfort, making it a unique and fun option for your dinner table. The creamy queso topping adds a touch of indulgence that makes these shells irresistible.
Taco stuffed shells are a complete meal on their own, but they pair wonderfully with fresh sides like a green salad with a light vinaigrette or some roasted vegetables. Corn on the cob or a scoop of Mexican rice would also complement the flavors nicely. For a fun twist, you could serve them with a side of tortilla chips and guacamole to keep with the taco theme.
