Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  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.
