Meatball Tacos with Parmesan Shell

Meatball Tacos with Parmesan Shell – Using Parmesan Cheese to make the taco shell gives this such a unique flavor and the shell holds up way better than any regular taco shell!

I’m so excited to share my latest creation with you today!

Meet the Parmesan Cheese Taco Shell!! 🙂

I personally found Tacos in general not very tasty, so one day I made this for myself as an experiment frying Parmesan Cheese in a pan and then shaping it into a Taco Shell. I like to call it Parmos – the alternative to Tacos!

Check out my latest video below where I show you how to make this recipe!

Surprisingly these shells were super versatile, and they add that intense loving flavor of the Parmigiano, which pairs with lots of ingredients.

I decided to create a sort of Italian style Taco by using some pre-cooked frozen pork-beef meatballs I had in my freezer. I added them to my Authentic Italian homemade tomato sauce – Salsa Di Pomodoro.

When the meatballs were heated all the way through (about 15 minutes), I added them onto the Parmos along with some Arugula, and topped it with Ricotta and Parmesan.

You guys are going to love these Parmos! They’re:

• Easy to make
• Low Carb
• Full of flavor
• Comforting
• and 100% Orgasmik!

Notes

It’s important to use Shredded Parmesan vs. Grated Parmesan. Grated Parmesan gets too crumbly and won’t create a proper shell form.
