Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.67 cup Water
- 8 bags Small single-serve bags of chips (e.g., Doritos or Fritos)
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles, until no longer pink (about 7-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water according to the seasoning packet instructions. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the toppings by dicing the tomatoes, shredding the lettuce, and assembling other ingredients like cheese, sour cream, salsa, and black olives if using.
Carefully open the tops of the individual chip bags, being careful not to tear the sides.
Spoon a layer of the prepared taco meat into each bag of chips, followed by toppings of your choice, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, salsa, black olives, and cilantro.
Gently mix the ingredients inside the bag with a fork to combine.
Serve immediately, handing each guest a fork and their own bag of ‘Walking Tacos’. Enjoy the fun and delicious experience!
