Walking Tacos: A No-Fuss Meal for Busy Families and Fun Gatherings

Quick & Easy Walking Taco for Busy Days

Make a walking taco when you’re too busy chasing the kids around to sit still—this portable snack turns a taco in a bag into a fun family-friendly meal.

Ingredients for Your Walking Taco

• 6 small individual bags of corn chips (e.g., Fritos or Doritos)
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• ½ cup water
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• ½ cup diced tomatoes
• ¼ cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
• Sour cream and salsa, for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring, until browned and crumbly, about 5–10 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
2. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and pour in ½ cup water. Stir until the beef is evenly coated and the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
3. Let the meat rest off the heat for a minute to soak up the flavors.
4. Carefully cut the top off each chip bag and gently crush the chips inside.
5. Spoon a portion of seasoned beef into each bag, then top with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, sour cream, and salsa.

Assembly Tips & Variations

• Make it vegetarian: Swap beef for seasoned black beans or lentils.
• Spice it up: Add hot sauce or a dash of cayenne to your taco meat.
• Fun for parties: Set up a walking taco bar with bowls of toppings for self-serve convenience.
