Walking Tacos
Description
This casual dish starts by opening individual bags of Doritos, which act as both container and base. Cooked taco-seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken is spooned directly over the chips. Then common taco toppings are added, such as shredded cheese, crisp lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, avocado, salsa, and sour cream. The chips can be left whole or crushed before topping for easier eating.
The flavor combines the bold, corn chip crunch and seasoning from the Doritos with savory, spiced meat and fresh vegetable notes. The toppings add texture contrasts and freshness while sour cream and salsa bring creaminess and acidity. The dish requires no utensils and is portable, making it a casual party or snack choice.
Walking Tacos are convenient for casual gatherings or meals where ease and individual customization are key. Different proteins like ground chicken, turkey, or rotisserie chicken can be used. For a vegetarian option, omit meat and add extra beans like kidney, pinto, or black beans for additional filling and flavor variety.
