Crispy Italian Flavored Tacos
Crispy Italian Flavored Tacos
This crispy Italian style taco recipe combines two of my favorite flavors Italian and Mexican.
A taco recipe can be made with a variety of fillings and seasonings, including beef, pork, chicken or fish, just to name a few.
Some people want the traditional Mexican ground beef kind, and me I like to experiment with different combinations of fillings and taco shells.
I would like to say these tacos came about from a brain storm, but the truth is, my intention was to make a Philly sandwich using ground sirloin on sourdough bread until I realized I didn’t have the bread but I did have corn taco shells, a recipe is created just like that sometimes.
How I Made these Crispy Italian flavored Tacos
This crispy Italian flavored Taco recipe started like this.
First I sautéed the peppers, onions and garlic, then I added the ground sirloin, you can use any ground meat you like. Be sure not to over cook the meat, since it will be cooked twice.
Then I filled corn taco shells with the Italian flavored mixture, covered them with mozzarella cheese baked them in my toaster/air fryer until crispy and the cheese melted and golden brown.
Just like that a new recipe was created and let me just say put a few aside for yourself before serving them, these Italian inspired tacos tend to disappear quickly.
