In our house, nothing says Friday night like some warm queso, tortilla chips and beer. So why not follow that up with some tacos…made in pasta shells.

Can you say YUM?

This was a super easy dish to make. The hardest part was browning the ground turkey and stuffing the shells.

It’s perfect for a no stress Friday night dinner. The best part, each person can top the shells with anything they like. If you wanted some lettuce or jalapenos, just throw them right on top of the stuffed shells and enjoy!
Don’t like olives, don’t put them on. You get the idea.

DH super modified the recipe he found here at AllRecipes.com, so now you have two options in one post!
