- In a separate bowl, combine the salsa or enchilada sauce with tomato sauce and ground cumin (if using). Stir until well mixed and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Stuff the Shells:
- Spoon a generous amount of the taco filling into each cooked shell. You can use a spoon or piping bag to make the process easier.
- Pour about half of the prepared sauce into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place the stuffed shells in the baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
5. Bake the Taco Stuffed Shells:
- Pour the remaining sauce over the stuffed shells.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Garnish and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, jalapeño slices, and extra sour cream if desired.
