Ingredients
Scale:
1 lb seasoned ground beef or turkey
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup water
4 small bags of individual tortilla chips (e.g., Doritos or Fritos)
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup salsa
Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, black olives, guacamole, or avocado slices
Instructions
Begin by preparing the taco filling. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the seasoned ground beef or turkey until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the pan, stirring well to combine. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
While the taco filling is simmering, prepare your camping area and gather your outdoor cooking tools.
Once the meat is ready, remove it from the heat. Open the bags of tortilla chips carefully to avoid spilling the contents.
For each bag, add a generous scoop of the taco filling directly into the bag of chips.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Add sour cream and salsa to taste, plus any optional toppings you desire.
Mix everything inside the bag gently but thoroughly to coat the chips with all the flavors.
Enjoy your Walking Tacos right out of the bag for a fun camping dinner.
