Spaghetti Tacos (From Icarly)

Luv2Cook/Hate2Clean:)'s Note:

My kids both love iCarly. As with so many others, they saw the episode where they were eating Spaghetti Tacos and begged me to make them. This was my attempt at them, and I have to say, we were all pretty impressed with them!

Very good!!! My daughter has been begging me to make spaghetti tacos for a while. Finally did and they were delicious. Will make again.

My daughter also wanted me to make this. I thought it was ok. Very messy, but I think that's sort of the point. I didn't use the whole packet of taco seasoning because my husband doesn't like taco seasoning. I think the whole packet (as the recipe calls for) would have made it better. Darn picky husbands!
