tacos are tacos: corn tortillas with a small amount of stuffing eaten as a snack or small meal. Just because one uses similar spices to make a sauce for pasta does not make it a taco anything. Would you pour ragu over tortillas and call it spaghetti pie?

Why not call it spaghetti a la Mexico or something similar?
