# Instructions:
01 -
Set oven to 190°C and allow to preheat fully.
02 -
If using soft taco shells, brush each lightly with olive oil and arrange on a baking tray. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until lightly crisped. Skip this step if using hard taco shells.
03 -
Spread pizza sauce into the base of each taco shell. Top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
04 -
Arrange several slices of pepperoni over the cheese. Sprinkle grated Parmesan evenly, then season with dried oregano and garlic powder.
05 -
Place assembled tacos on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbling and shells are golden.
06 -
Remove tacos from oven, garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Monitor the tacos closely during final baking; they can go from golden to burnt quickly due to the thin shells.
