What is 'Walking Taco"? You take a small bag of corn chips or Doritos open it up and put seasoned taco meat over the chips along with your favorite taco topping such as lettuce, taco sauce, tomatoes, onions, and cheese on top. You can then walk around eating this right out of the bag with a fork.
This is a spin on the Walking Taco but in casserole form which is perfect for teens and family gatherings.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 lbs.- 2 lbs. ground beef
- 1 (1 oz.) pkg taco seasoning
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 (15.5) oz. pkg Fritos
- 3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- taco toppings of your choice...taco sauce, diced onions, olives, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9"x 13" baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Spread half of the Fritos in the bottom of the dish.
- In a skillet brown the ground beef, add the taco seasoning and water, and mix until blended. Place 1/2 of the seasoned ground beef over the corn chips and top with half of the shredded cheese.
- Repeat the layers, Fritos, and taco meat, and end with the rest of the cheese.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- To serve set out taco toppings of your choice and let everyone garnish their own serving!
Original recipe from Sweet Tea and Cornbread
My review:
Well, this was very easy to do and makes a lot. I love tacos and this was a good treat for me and Momma Sassy.
Next time I will not make as much and will also separate the ingredients to add as I go. The reason is, that the chips are soggy if you have any leftovers. I would leave out the olives because I prefer black beans.
But other than that, all good!
Try it one plate at a time, if you do not have a crowd to feed. All you have to do is add chips, meat, and cheese to a plate and heat in a microwave or toaster oven to melt the cheese. Then add your toppings!
Have you ever made a dish like this one? What are your thoughts? We would love to hear from you in the comments below.
