Walking Tacos

Frank Garofalo

Ingredients
  • Ground beef: Ground beef provides the flavorful protein ingredient to go along with the tacos’ corn chips and vegetable ingredients.
  • Chili seasoning: This seasoning mix gives the beef its taco-friendly flavors.
  • Diced tomatoes with green chilies: The canned tomatoes and chilies work together with the beef and beans to create a flavorful sauce reminiscent of a real taco with its sauce.
  • Ranch style beans: The beans give some heft to the walking tacos, making them more satisfying. They also chip in with lots of flavor, extra protein and good-quality fiber.
  • Corn chips: The bag of corn chips makes a fine substitute for a hard taco shell, and neatly contains the sauce and messy toppings.
  • Cheddar cheese, sour cream and green onions: Taco-style toppings can be whatever you want them to be, but these three are the fundamental choices.

Instructions
  1. Fill: Spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture into each corn chip bag.
  2. Top: Add shredded cheddar, sour cream, and green onions (plus any optional toppings).
  3. Serve: Hand out forks and enjoy straight from the bag - easy cleanup, no plates required!
  4. Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 67 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  5. Season: Stir in the chili seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and ranch-style beans. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  6. Assemble walking tacos: Gently crush each bag of corn chips to break chips slightly. Cut open the top of each bag.
