Turtle Shell Tacos are a unique twist on traditional Mexican tacos. Instead of a tortilla, a biscuit shell is used as the taco shell. The ground beef is seasoned with taco seasoning and mixed with black beans, corn, tomatoes, red pepper, and shredded lettuce. The mixture is then spooned into the biscuit shells and topped with shredded cheese and more lettuce, corn, and tomatoes. These tacos are a creative and fun way to enjoy a Mexican-inspired meal with your family.
