Wow - nice twist on regular 'ol hard shell tacos! This is kinda like traditional Mexican meets old school Italian. Like others I was a bit skeptical but overall it's really good. It tastes like a meatball hoagie fused with a hard shell taco. So if you like both of those you're bound to like this. My husband is a fan of both so he really enjoyed this. Plus it was quick and easy to put together for a weeknight meal. I seasoned the ground beef and sausage with a little minced garlic as well as Italian seasoning. I omitted with sugar from the jarred sauce as I used "Classico's Sweet Tomato Basil Sauce". I topped the "tacos" with a combination of mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Overall simply delicious!
This was really good and super easy but it would have been better on bread than in a taco shell. If I make it in the shell again I will add some roasted red peppers and ricotta cheese to make it more taco like and less like a meatball sandwich.
For a quick and easy meal this was a five star recipe. I loved the crunchy taco shell mixed with the Italian flavors. I wasn't sure how this was going to be but I was pleasantly surprised.
Delicous. I love itaian food. This is a keeper. I used a little water when cooking meat because it was dry but other than that two thumbs up 4 the italian tacos!
WOW!!! These were so simple to make and tasted great! A good change from regular tacos! Thanks Super Dave for posting this....it will definately become a regular dish on our dinner plates!!!
I WAS A LITTLE BIT SKEPTICAL OF THIS RECIPE BUT IM GLAD I TRIED IT. IT WAS YUMMY. I USED TURKEY SAUSAGE AND GROUND SIRLOIN TO MAKE IT LOWER IN FAT. I DIDNT HAVE MOZERELLA CHEESE SO I USED FAT FREE CHEDDAR AND IT WORKED OUT FINE. THIS ONE IS A KEEPER.
Although I doubled the entire recipe (big eaters/teenagers at my house) I followed it exactly. It was AWESOME! It is now the new official taco of our house! I did add ricotta cheese to the bottom of the taco but that's just because we are huge ricotta cheese lovers! A must try!
Of course like other posts... surprisingly good! They were very easy. I added some diced onion and green pepper for a little color and flavor.
Tasted yummy. We used hard taco shells and it was very messy. Next time we will use soft taco shells.
I wasn't crazy about this recipe. I thought it was lacking "traditional taco" toppings like onions tomatoes lettuce. The meat seemed dry too could simmer in 1/2 cup water.
