WALKING TACO

mayurisjikoni
Walking Taco is a fun portable snack or meal option. Flavourful chili and toppings are added to a bag of tortilla chips rather than a taco. Walk around with the bag and enjoy taco. An absolutely easy way to serve a snack for picnics, movie nights, while watching your favourite sports match, etc. All you need is a bag of Fritos, Dorito, Tostitos or Takis. Add toppings of your choice and you have a filling snack or meal.

PREPARE THE BEAN CHILE

  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and stir fry till it becomes soft and translucent.

  • Allow the mixture to heat up well for 5 minutes over low to medium heat. Make sure you stir it in between.

PREPARE WALKING TACO

  • Add some chopped lettuce leaves.

  • Top with some chopped spring onion and cilantro.
  • Walking Taco is ready. Enjoy.

Notes

  • You may have some leftover bean chile. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge and use it up for more walking taco. I generally use it up to make burrito, huevos rancheros or Tex Mex style shakshuka.
  • Add your favourite topping.
  • If you prefer, use ready made chile.
  • Don't use the really small snack size taco chip bags. It will hold enough of the toppings.
