Walking Tacos

You've probably seen Walking Tacos at some sort of fair or festival. Kind of like a taco in a bag. Meat, cheese, etc put into a bag of Fritos or Doritos. Perfect for festivals because you can walk around while you eat them.
We've made these when we camped before. It's the perfect "opening night" meal. We had a crockpot of meat already cooked and just kept it hot all evening. Everyone arrived at different times and when they did, they could easily make up their own dinner.
We joked that tonight's version was more like "Sitting Tacos" because I was too cheap to buy the individual bags of Fritos. I bought one big bag and we ate them on a plate. No rocket science behind this recipe. Just easy and yummy. Great for a crowd!

Walking Tacos
Small bags of Fritos, Doritos or Tortilla chips
OR a large bag of the same chips, placed on a plate
Hamburger meat
Taco seasoning
shredded cheese
sour cream
salsa
shredded lettuce
tomatoes, olives, jalapenos, etc for toppings

Brown hamburger meat & drain. Add taco seasoning according to package directions.

To assemble - open chip bag and squeeze the bag to break up the chips into bite size pieces. Add a spoonful of meat and a sprinkle of cheese. Add other toppings as desired. Eat straight out of the bag or on a plate. Yum-Yum!!

I think these would also be good with a chili type meat sauce. Or even left over chili if it was thick enough. My kids love this either way but especially think it's cool to eat it out of the bag.
