Okay, so today I wanted to talk about something we tried out last weekend – “Walking Tacos” but with Doritos! We usually do them with Fritos, which is a whole other story, and the family goes crazy for them. But this time, we switched things up, and, let me tell you, it was pretty darn good.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed all the stuff we needed. You know, the usual taco ingredients. I browned some ground beef in a big pan, seasoning it with a packet of taco seasoning – nothing fancy. While that was cooking, I chopped up some onions, tomatoes, and lettuce.
The Fun Part
Here’s where it gets interesting. Instead of taco shells, we used individual-sized bags of Doritos. I just snipped the top of each bag open. The kids thought this was the coolest thing ever.
- Layering it up – I spooned some of the cooked beef into each bag.
- Topping time – Then came the fun part. We set out bowls of all our favorite toppings:
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, of course)
- Chopped onions
- Diced tomatoes
- Shredded lettuce
- Sour cream
- Some of that jarred salsa – the chunky kind
- And for those who like it spicy, some sliced jalapeños
- Mixing it all in – Everyone grabbed a fork and mashed everything together right in the bag. It’s a little messy, but that’s part of the fun, right?
The Verdict
These Dorito Walking Tacos were a total hit! It’s such a simple idea, but it makes dinner so much more exciting. Plus, cleanup is a breeze – you just toss the empty bags. I think we’ve found a new family favorite. Next time, I’m thinking we might try it with different flavors of Doritos. Maybe the nacho cheese ones? Or even the spicy ones? The possibilities are endless!
Anyways, if you’re looking for a quick, easy, and fun dinner idea, give these Walking Tacos a try. You won’t regret it!
