Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 bags Individual bags of dairy-free corn tortilla chips (e.g., plain or salted)
- 1 pound Ground turkey or plant-based ground 'meat'
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (ensure it's dairy-free)
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup Chunky salsa
- 1 cup Dairy-free shredded cheese (optional)
- 0.5 cup Diced avocado or guacamole
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the ground turkey or plant-based ground 'meat' to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks (approximately 5-7 minutes).
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Carefully open each individual bag of tortilla chips by cutting the top open with scissors or gently tearing it along the seam.
To assemble, layer the seasoned meat (or plant-based alternative) into each bag over the chips.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black beans, salsa, dairy-free shredded cheese (if using), and diced avocado or guacamole. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
Serve each bag with a lime wedge for squeezing on top. Use a fork to enjoy your Dairy-Free Taco in a Bag!
