We saw mozzarella sticks and tacos on the menu at a local restaurant and we we’re inspired to combine them. This is a cheesy and saucy recipe that may not be healthy for you but it is certainly a cheat day treat. You should try this at least once especially if you’re craving both mozzarella sticks and tacos. Enjoy!
On a microwavable safe dinner plate, place 6 pieces of mozzarella cheese slices.
Microwave for 30 second increments; molding the cheese into the shape of the circle.
Once melted and molded, place on top of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and fold the cheese circle in half. Freeze 1-2 hours.
Once frozen, bread with flour, egg, flour, egg, then Italian bread crumbs.
Filling
Mix together meat filling ingredients in a bowl. Heat a pan to medium high heat and cook down the meatball meat like taco beef. Set aside.
Build
Deep fry at 350F until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Fill with meatball "taco" meat, marinara, shredded mozzarella cheese, and parsley flakes.
