Walking Tacos (aka Tacos in a Bag)
I first saw these "walking tacos" at an amusement park concession stand several years ago. It's such a smart idea ~ putting the taco fixings in a snack size bag of chips. However, I'd pretty much forgotten about them until my oldest went to a birthday party recently. She came home telling me all about the "tacos in a bag" that she'd had and was begging me to make them for our family. Well, her wish came true for dinner last night when I made them for me and the kids. We ate ours sitting at the dinner table, but this would be the perfect food for a bbq, tailgate or any time you're on the go and don't want to have to sit down to eat.
Check it out...
So simple! All you need are individual bags of chips, taco meat, and fixings. (We liked Doritos for our chips, but Fritos, Sun Chips or other similar chips would also work.) Crush the bag slightly to break the chips into smaller pieces, then add your fixings, grab a fork and enjoy!
While not the healthiest dinner, they were definitely yummy and a fun treat. I'm sure we'll be making them again, especially in the summer when we have friends over and we're in and out of the pool.

ReplyDeleteYUMMY!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh!! I'm in LOVE with this idea and left wondering why I never thought of this! The hubby and I love Taco Bell's new Dorito Tacos and I'm always making tacos with the same ingredients/fixings. Such an awesome idea! Thanks so much for sharing! I found you at the I Heart Naptime Link Party! I'm a new follower of yours ;)

ReplyDeleteFun! Congratulations on being the most popular link on Sundae Scoop. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think i would cut the bag on the side (like a frito pie). That way you'd have a bigger bowl. And add some chili con queso!!
ReplyDeleteok thankyou very much. :) and one more question. do you know is there any substitute for RIT dye? cause i want to dip dye my bag but there's no fabric dye in my country :(Leather messenger bag for men
ReplyDeletei´m from mexico, and the "dorilocos" selling in the country, yumiii
ReplyDeleteYea, nothing like a good dose of GMO's for the day.
ReplyDeleteI've seen something similar to this done before. Great for kids parties, or any kid event where food is needed.
ReplyDeleteAnother option -- Use small bags of fritos, add chili, and cheese.
I just wanted to answer True Grit regarding the RIT dye. I don't think RIT is a good fir for leather bags. A better solution would probably be to use a specific leather treatment, or to get a bag that's alreay treated, like this one: Oak Leather Bag
