Cook the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease.

Melt the Cheese: Remove from heat and fold in the shredded mozzarella until melted and evenly mixed.
Prepare the Taco Shells:
If using hard taco shells, bake according to package instructions until crispy.
If using soft shells, warm them in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds.
Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the pizza-inspired filling into each taco shell. Add your favorite toppings for extra flavor and texture.
Finish with Sauce & Serve: Drizzle extra pizza sauce over the top and serve immediately. Pair with a side salad or dipping sauces for a complete meal.
