Instructions:

Prepare the meats:
- Cook the ground beef or sausage in a skillet over medium heat, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drain any excess fat.
- Cook the bacon in a separate pan until crispy, then crumble it.
- Warm the pepperoni and ham slices in a pan or microwave, just enough to heat through.
-
Prep the taco shells:
- If you’re using soft tortillas, you can warm them in a pan for a minute or two, or lightly brush them with olive oil and bake them for a few minutes to get a little crispiness.
- For hard shells, bake them according to the package instructions.
-
Assemble the tacos:
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce inside each taco shell.
- Add a generous amount of mozzarella cheese to the taco.
- Layer your choice of cooked meats (ground beef, sausage, pepperoni, bacon, etc.) on top of the cheese.
-
Bake the tacos:
- Place the assembled tacos on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Top and garnish:
- Once out of the oven, add any desired toppings like fresh basil, olives, or veggies.
- Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
