Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning mix
- 2/3 cup Water
- 6 bags Single-serving bags of corn chips (like Fritos or Doritos)
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Salsa
- 1/2 cup Chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the cooked beef. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally.
While the beef is simmering, gently crush the chips in each bag to make room for the toppings.
Open the bag and spoon a portion of the cooked taco meat directly into each bag of chips.
Top with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped tomatoes.
Add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa to each bag.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions and optional sliced jalapeños for heat.
Hold the bag from the bottom, and eat directly out of it with a fork for a fun and easy portable taco experience.
