- Season the Beef: Enhance the flavor by seasoning the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder while cooking.
- Mix It Up: Feel free to add your favorite spices to the sauce for a personalized touch.
- Layer Wisely: Start with cheese at the bottom of the taco shell to help hold the filling.
- Serve Hot: Spaghetti Tacos are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them immediately for the ultimate experience.
