Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
• Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of salsa into the cooked beef. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Remove the beef mixture from heat and mix in the cream cheese until well combined.
• Fill each pasta shell with the beef mixture and place them in a baking dish.
• Pour the remaining salsa over the stuffed shells, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with shredded lettuce.
