These flavor-filled taco stuffed shells are your answer. This simple fusion recipe will have the family in awe of your creative culinary skills as they dig into this cheesy, reimagined pasta dish.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Taco stuffed shells can be prepared, baked and on the dinner table in under an hour. Better yet, if there&#8217;s a busy night ahead, this recipe can be prepped in advance, cutting that time down to just 20 to 25 minutes of baking on the night you&#8217;re going to serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-heading=\"Ingredients for Mexican Burger\">Ingredients for Taco Stuffed Shells<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"list-bullet\" dir=\"auto\"><strong>Jumbo pasta shells:<\/strong> Shell-shaped pasta, or <em>conchiglie<\/em>, as it&#8217;s called in Italian (literally meaning &#8220;shells&#8221;), comes in three basic sizes: small, or conchigliette; medium, known simply as conchiglie; and conchiglioni, the jumbo shells we&#8217;re using in this recipe.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-bullet\" dir=\"auto\"><strong>Ground beef:<\/strong> This recipe uses 90% lean ground beef, commonly called ground sirloin. Extra lean ground beef is a great choice when adding layers of flavor and spices to the meat. It also contains less saturated fat and cholesterol.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chili powder:<\/strong> There are many variations of chili powder out there. If you don&#8217;t have a favorite, the <em>Taste Recipes<\/em> Test Kitchen researched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-chili-powder\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-chili-powder\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best chili powder brands<\/a> to get you started.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese:<\/strong> The cream cheese brings a rich and creamy texture to the filling and helps to marry the flavors together. You can choose a low- or fat-free option to make it healthier without sacrificing flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Taco sauce:<\/strong> Jarred or bottled taco sauce is the hero sauce in this recipe. Salsa or canned enchilada sauce will also work well, but keep an eye on the heat level so there are no surprises at the dinner table.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese:\u00a0<\/strong>Pre-shredded Mexican cheese blends are flavorful and melt perfectly into the desired gooey consistency. Feel free to sub in another Mexican melting cheese, like Chihuahua or Oaxaca, if you have a favorite.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-bullet\" dir=\"auto\"><strong>Tortilla chips:<\/strong> Crushed tortilla chips are used as a topping to give the stuffed shells a slight crunch. Baked tortilla chips can be used as a lower-fat option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-heading=\"Directions\">Directions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\" data-heading=\"Step 1: Prepare the patties\">Step 1: Cook the pasta<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2041598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Taco-Stuffed-Shells_TOHD24_36287_ChristineMa_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Cook pasta shells\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.

I used ground turkey and added a packet of taco seasoning to give it more flavor. I didn't have taco sauce so I used salsa.

I didn't like having to stand there filling each shell and then you still have to bake it for another 30 mins.   Also, the picture makes the shells look bigger than they really are.  I think next time I'll lay lasagna noodles in the pan and just spread the beef mixture over top of those.  That would make the whole process way faster!
