Taco in a Bag

I love these walking taco bags, and my family loves them too! I had this recipe at the Covered Bridge Festival in Indiana. The chip bag serves as a shell for the tacos.

Total Time: 30 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • *1 pound lean ground beef
  • *3/4 cup water
  • *1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • *4 (2.5 ounce) packages corn chips
  • *2 cups shredded lettuce
  • *1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • *1 chopped fresh tomato
  • *½ cup sour cream
  • *⅓ cup salsa

Directions

Step 1

Assemble every necessary component.

Step 2

Sauté the ground beef in a large frying pan over medium heat until it is fully browned and broken into small bits, which should take roughly 7 to 10 minutes. Drain the excess fat. Incorporate the water and taco seasoning. Let the mixture come to a boil, then dial back the heat to a simmer for 5 minutes, giving it an occasional stir.

Step 3

Lightly smash the corn chips while they remain in their sealed packages. Trim a bit off the top and bottom corners of each sack, then slit the bag open along one of the side seams.

Step 4

Distribute even portions of the cooked beef, lettuce, shredded Cheddar, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and salsa into each bag on top of the crushed chips.

Step 5

Serve the meal directly in the bag and consume it using a fork. Enjoy your food!
