Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a skillet over medium heat, brown the pork sausage until it is no longer pink. Ensure to break it into crumbles as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet. |
| 2 | Add the salsa to the skillet with the browned sausage, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat until it’s thoroughly heated. This will help the flavors meld together beautifully. |
| 3 | While the sausage mixture simmers, prepare the taco shells according to package instructions. Warm them in the oven or microwave for a few seconds to make them crisp and ready for filling. |
| 4 | Once the sausage mixture is hot and ready, begin assembling the tacos. Spoon a generous portion of the sausage mixture into each taco shell, ensuring an even distribution. |
| 5 | Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the sausage mixture in each taco shell. The heat from the filling will melt the cheese, creating a gooey, irresistible topping. |
| 6 | Garnish the tacos with chopped green onions for a fresh burst of flavor and a pop of color. This adds a delightful contrast to the savory filling and cheesy topping. |
| 7 | Serve the Tacos With a Twist immediately, allowing everyone to customize their tacos with additional toppings if desired. Enjoy the fusion of flavors and textures in every delicious bite! |
