Watching sports this weekend? Tailgating? Feel like you're in a weeknight dinner rut? When I want to change up our dinner routine or inject some fun into our game day, I turn to Walking Tacos. Walking Tacos are tacos in a chip bag. I mean are you kidding me?!

Cuisine: Tex-Mex
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

ground beef, ground turkey or ground chicken
taco seasoning (I used Old El Paso seasoning mix)
small bags of chips (Fritos or Doritos are good choices)
toppings: lettuce, chopped tomato, fresh cilantro, chopped onions, avocado, guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa, jalapenos, etc.

Here's how to make it:

Prepare your favorite taco meat using the ground beef and taco seasoning.
Lay out the optional toppings and put out individual bags of chips.
Before you open the chips. gently break them up with your hand.
Open the bag carefully and add the taco meat and desired toppings.

You still get the crunch of a traditional taco shell but without the insane mess of the taco falling apart while you’re eating it. Best of all, your kids will love it and there are no dishes to wash at the end of the night. I make this for my 15-year-old son and his friends a lot and it's always a hit with the hard-to-please teen crowd!

I've eaten walking tacos since I was a kid. Love 'em! I made something similiar a few years ago for a party -- walking frito pies. I made a big pot of homemade chili and put it in a crock pot, put out a big basket of small Frito bags and other toppings like chopped onions, jalapenos, shredded cheese. I put some scissors near the chips and let people go to town. Was a big hit. Thanks for sharing such a fun idea, Chrissy Jones!

I have never done this! All of my girls will love it! 😍

These are so fun to make! We also like to do this with Frito pie. Open up the bag of Fritos, spoon in some chili and top with cheese and onions. Takes me right back to the baseball park when I was a kid.
