Ingredients

Scale

For the Taco Shells

  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)

For the Meat Filling

  • 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup cooked Italian sausage, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, cut into quarters
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1/4 cup diced ham
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

For Garnish (Optional)

  • Chopped parsley
  • Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Tortillas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable and easier to shape. Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with olive oil to help them crisp up beautifully in the oven.
  2. Form Taco Shells: Flip a muffin tin upside down and carefully nestle the oiled tortillas between the cups to create taco-shaped shells. This ensures they hold their shape while baking. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes or until the tortillas are crisp and golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Meat Sauce Mixture: While the taco shells bake, heat a skillet over medium heat and warm the marinara or pizza sauce. Stir in the cooked Italian sausage, pepperoni, bacon, and ham, allowing the mixture to simmer together for 2–3 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Spoon the warm meat mixture generously into each baked taco shell. Top each filled shell with shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring an even layer that will melt perfectly.
  5. Bake Tacos to Melt Cheese: Return the assembled tacos to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until the cheese melts completely and becomes bubbly and slightly golden.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the finished tacos with dried oregano for a classic pizza herb flavor. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or a pinch of red pepper flakes to add freshness or a little heat. Serve the tacos warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap in other meats like ground beef or chicken to customize the filling.
  • Add sautéed onions and bell peppers for extra flavor and veggies.
  • Serve with ranch or garlic dipping sauce on the side for a fun twist and extra deliciousness.
