6 Cheesy Blasted Stand N Stuff taco shells
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and add the linguine. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until just shy of al dente, then drain and set aside.
02 -
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and pour in the Alfredo sauce. Stir gently until it begins to simmer, allowing the flavors to blend.
03 -
Stir the drained Rotel tomatoes into the sauce. Blend in salt, pepper, and garlic powder, stirring constantly to avoid scorching and to unify the flavors.
04 -
Add the drained linguine to the sauce and toss thoroughly to ensure each strand is evenly coated in creamy sauce.
05 -
Fold in half of the shredded mozzarella and all the cooked chicken. Stir gently until the cheese begins to melt and the chicken is distributed evenly, creating a gooey base.
06 -
Arrange the taco shells standing upright in a greased baking dish. Spoon generous portions of the creamy pasta mixture into each shell, filling to the top.
07 -
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella evenly over the filled tacos to form a cheesy crust.
08 -
Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C). Bake for approximately 10 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the edges turn crisp and golden.
09 -
Allow the tacos to cool briefly before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy the fusion of creamy and crunchy textures.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
To maintain shell crispiness, cool the filling slightly before assembling. Toast taco shells for extra crunch prior to filling.
02 -
Leftovers keep refrigerated up to 3 days; reheat in oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
