Taco in a Bag

“Taco in a bag” typically refers to a popular and convenient way of serving tacos, especially at events, fairs, or gatherings. It’s also known as a “walking taco” or “Frito pie.” The concept involves filling a small, individual-sized bag of corn chips (such as Fritos) with taco ingredients, creating a portable and easy-to-eat meal.

Here’s a basic recipe for making a taco in a bag:

Ingredients:

• Individual-sized bags of corn chips (e.g., Fritos)
• Cooked and seasoned taco meat (ground beef or alternative protein)
• Shredded lettuce
• Diced tomatoes
• Shredded cheese
• Salsa or pico de gallo
• Sour cream
• Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, guacamole, onions, etc.

Instructions:

• Start by opening the bag of corn chips.
• Spoon in the cooked and seasoned taco meat.
• Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, salsa, and sour cream.
• If desired, top with additional ingredients like jalapeños, guacamole, or onions.
• Mix the ingredients gently within the bag.
• Use a fork or spoon to eat the taco directly from the bag.

This concept is popular for its simplicity, versatility, and minimal mess, making it a great option for events where people are on the move or don’t have access to traditional taco plates.
