Ingredients
Scale
- 8 small taco shells (soft or hard, your choice)
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 20–25 slices of pepperoni
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
- Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the taco shells: If using soft taco shells, lightly brush each with olive oil and place them in the oven for 5-7 minutes to crisp them up. If using hard taco shells, you can skip this step.
- Assemble the tacos: Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce into the bottom of each taco shell. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, followed by a few slices of pepperoni. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the pepperoni, and then sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
- Bake the tacos: Place the assembled tacos on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the taco shells are golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the tacos from the oven and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your pepperoni pizza tacos!
Notes
- You can use any type of cheese you like, such as cheddar or provolone, for variety.
- If you want to add more toppings, feel free to include sliced bell peppers, onions, or olives before baking.
- For a more authentic pizza flavor, you can brush the taco shells with a little pizza sauce before adding the cheese and pepperoni.
