Walking Tacos
Walking Tacos are a fun, handheld dish where seasoned ground beef is mixed with typical taco toppings and served inside a bag of crushed potato chips, usually Fritos or Nacho Cheese Doritos. The combination offers a pleasing contrast between the crunchy chips and savory, juicy meat and toppings. This portable twist on tacos makes it easy to customize toppings and enjoy a casual meal or snack.
