Love easy mexican inspired dishes? My ground beef burrito bowl is made all in one pot for a complete meal that is super tasty. Or try the sheetpan chicken fajitas for dinner or slow cooker shredded chicken tacos for dinner. The baked mini taco cups are a great appetizer for any party!
Walking tacos only take a little bit of prep as you use the chip bag as your plate.Then you set up the toppings as a walking taco bar and let each person build their own taco. It's the perfect party food for birthday parties, game day or and a quick meal for camping trips. The best part is almost everyone loves taco night!
Walking tacos are a great meal to make for a group whether you are camping, having a party or tailgating. While this recipe makes six individual dinners or twelve snack size deconstructed tacos, here are some tips for scaling this meal for a larger group.
I've served walking tacos at girl scout campouts to a large group and it works great, and I've also had them from the concession stand at a football game in Ohio. I've also made them for parties to watch the game and they were a big hit.
This meal is great for a crowd, and is easy to adapt to many special diets. Here are a few tips if you have a few people at your table who also have special diets. This is not meant to be an all inclusive list, when adapting for people who have special diets or sensitivities it is always best to ask if you are unsure what they can eat.
For most vegetarians and vegans, offering extra beans cooked with taco spice along with the other toppings works in place of the ground bean mixture. You could also add an option of crumbled plant based protein or veggie burgers for vegetarians or vegans. I also recommend adding a few of the fresh vegetable toppings like some diced tomatoes or avocado. Also for vegans keep in mind toppings like sour cream and cheese aren't things they can generally eat so more fresh toppings, vegetable toppings and salsa options are helpful.
Most corn chips are naturally gluten free, however it can vary based on the brand of chips and the person's gluten sensitivity if they are able to eat regular corn chips. A chip like Siete Foods Grain Free chips are a great way to offer an additional option for a wider range of special diets.
Most tortilla chips aren't low carb, but you can offer L=low carb tortillas so they can wrap their toppings in a tortilla. You can also offer bowls so they can layer the ingredients a little easier. Those eating low carb will usually want the protein options like the beef and will eat cheese, sour cream and veggies, but often won't eat beans, corn or chips.
Store any leftover meat and toppings in individual airtight containers in the refrigerator for about three days.
I recommend adding the meat and toppings per person. The chips will get soggy if you try to store leftovers with the meat mixture and toppings on top of the chips.
