These are a sight to see. I originally made them after finding the recipe last year for Halloween and have since changed the recipe around to make them more eater-friendly. The smiles you will receive are priceless! Try to find the widest taco shells possible if you are not making your own. We call them “Johnny 5 Tacos” as they resemble the robot from the movie Short Circuit more than they seem spooky. Kids also love to help prepared these! Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix |
12 taco shells |
3/4 cup salsa |
3/4 cup sour cream |
1 tomato, small cubes |
1 small head lettuce, sliced into small confetti squares |
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can large black olives, sliced |
1 cup cheese, shredded & long (cheddar is good, but a mexican blend would be good too) |
Directions:
1. MIX meat and seasoning mix. Shape half of the mixture into 24 (1-inch) balls; place in 15x10x1-inch baking pan and bake at 350 F for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through.
2. Brown the remaining seasoned ground beef and add salsa.
3. Fill each taco shell with a thin layer of ground beef, sour cream, lettuce, and tomatoes.
4. Position 2 meatballs inside the taco shell and add a dollop of sour cream to each. Garnish with olives to make “eyeballs.” Spread the cheese out along to the top for stringy hair.
