For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a layer of refried beans to the bottom of the baking dish before arranging the stuffed shells. Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite taco toppings, such as diced tomatoes, onions, or jalapenos. If you don't have jumbo pasta shells, you can use manicotti shells instead. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and baked later. Simply assemble the shells and refrigerate until ready to bake. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

01 Step
Recipe View 12 mins Prepare the Beefy Taco Filling: In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and taco seasoning mix. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease. Stir in the softened cream cheese, salt, and chili powder until well combined. Add the black beans and Mexican-style corn. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
02 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Cook the Pasta Shells: While the beef is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the jumbo pasta shells and cook according to package directions, until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta shells and transfer them to a bowl. Gently toss with the melted butter to prevent sticking.

Recipe View 2 mins Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
04 Step
Recipe View 8 mins Assemble the Tacos in Pasta Shells: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Fill each cooked pasta shell with the prepared ground beef mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells in the baking dish.
05 Step
Recipe View 30 mins Bake to Golden Perfection: Pour the salsa evenly over the stuffed shells. Sprinkle with half of the Cheddar cheese and half of the Monterey Jack cheese. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
06 Step
