Notes
- I like to mix some of the cheese in with the beef in the pan so it gets melty and gooey!
- Allow the beef to cool slightly before adding it to the chip bag. This helps retain that crunchy texture and ensures you don’t burn your hands while eating your Dorito walking taco.
- Pull a few chips from the top to create extra space for your toppings. Don’t toss them! Use them for scooping, crumble them on top, or snack on them as is.
- After opening the bag and making room for toppings, gently crush the chips. This ensures bite-sized pieces that are easy to enjoy with a fork!
- Setup a walking taco bar with all the toppings in small bowls for everyone to put their own chip bag together
- Be sure to open the bags carefully to keep the structure intact. If you prefer a shallower container, simply roll the edges down instead of cutting them off. This way, the bag becomes your food container
