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.

Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the cooked beef. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally.

Open the bag and spoon a portion of the cooked taco meat directly into each bag of chips.

7

Add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa to each bag.
