For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the ground beef while browning. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. Try using different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend. Assemble the shells ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
