    NcMysteryShopper's Note:

    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 I originally made them after finding the recipe last year for Halloween and have since changed the recipe around to make them more eater-friendly.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!

    tacos p ...

    Units: US | Metric

    • 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. 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. 2
      Brown the remaining seasoned ground beef and add salsa.
    3. 3
      Fill each taco shell with a thin layer of ground beef, sour cream, lettuce, and tomatoes.
    4. 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.
