Ingredients

• Snack-size bags of chips – See below our suggestions on what chips are the best to use.
• 1lb taco meat, cooked and warm – Optionally add a pack of favorite taco seasoning or homemade taco seasoning mix while cooking for extra flavor. 
• Shredded cheese – Any Mexican cheese or cheddar cheese goes excellent.
• Traditional taco ingredients – shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and sour cream.

How to make Walking Tacos with Doritos

1. Gently crush the chips in the bag to make them smaller.
2. Turn the bag on its side and, using scissors, cut two corners (of the top and bottom of the bag).
3. Use scissors to cut down the side of the bag to open it. 
4. Add a small amount of cooked taco meat, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and a dollop of sour cream. 
5. Serve with a fork and enjoy. 

TikTok Walking Taco Chips

Doritos are one of the more common mini chip options for walking tacos. However, any type of chip that provides the crunch and goes with the flavor does well. 

Try corn chips, tortilla chips, cool ranch Doritos, or even nacho cheese Doritos combined with a traditional taco recipe. 

Taco Toppings

There is no shortage of favorite taco toppings for Mexican-inspired food. Creating a taco bar with favorite toppings and chip bags ensures that everyone can pick their favorites. 

We suggest black beans, refried beans, pinto beans, green onions, green chiles, diced white onion, hot sauce, chunky sauce, black olives, and all of the regular taco fixings. 

Other than a ground beef mixture, try chopped or ground chicken to mix the protein.
