WALKING TACOS



Walking Tacos image

This has been a family favorite ever since our life got crazy chasing kids around. Quick and easy to make, kids love it, and there is no cleanup. The meat can be made up in advance, so when it's time to eat, just heat up the meat and you are ready to go. Easy enough to eat in the car on the way to soccer practice on a busy night!

CARNITAS WALKING TACOS



Carnitas Walking Tacos image

A walking taco (also known as taco in a bag) is a popular party and concession stand food around here, and it's both fun and convenient since all of the toppings get piled into a bag of chips. Walking tacos are commonly made with a ground beef mixture, but with this recipe I've gone with carnitas, slow-cooked pork, because carnitas tacos are SO GOOD.

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

One 4- to 5-pound lean boneless pork shoulder
5 cloves garlic, smashed
2 bay leaves
1 medium white onion, cut into large chunks (about 6.6 ounces or 187 grams), plus 1/2 small white onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder (substitute regular chili powder if you prefer)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Pinch ground cloves
Juice of 3 oranges (or 3/4 cup)
Juice of 2 limes (or 1/4 cup), plus a few lime wedges, for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Six 1-ounce bags tortilla chips
Chili Lime Sour Cream, recipe follows, or plain sour cream
2 radishes, thinly julienned
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
Green hot sauce, for garnish
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chili powder, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for garnish
Zest of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Place the pork shoulder, garlic, bay leaves, large chunks of onion, ancho chile powder, cumin, cloves, orange juice, lime juice, 1 tablespoon salt, a generous amount of black pepper and 1/2 cup water in the bowl of a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook until the meat is tender and can easily be shredded with a fork, 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
  • Remove the pork to a large bowl and use two forks to shred. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork and 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the pork is crispy and dark brown, about 15 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining oil, pork and 1/2 cup cooking liquid (discard the remaining liquid), another 15 minutes.
  • Open the tortilla chip bags and crush a few of the chips. Gently roll down the tops of the bags about a third of the way. Fill the bags with some dollops of sour cream, then pork, then garnish with the finely chopped onions, radishes, cilantro and a few dashes of hot sauce. Serve with the lime wedges.
  • In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, chili powder, salt and lime zest. Set aside.

WALKING TACOS WITH CAMPFIRE CHILI



Walking Tacos with Campfire Chili image

Simple chili prepared in a Dutch oven, then served over a bag of Fritos® or other chips with loads of toppings (like sharp Cheddar cheese, scallions, diced onion, sour cream, and avocado). Perfect for picnics, block parties, camp-outs and game nights. You can simply pour out the Fritos into a serving dish and top with the accompaniments or--if you wish to be truly authentic, and I think you do-- serve the Frito pie directly in the Frito bag.

INDIVIDUAL WALKING TACOS



Individual Walking Tacos image

We sold these at my son's Midget Football games and we usually wound up selling out before the end of Game 2. I've seen a few other recipes on here but none that used individual bags of the Nacho Cheese Doritos to make these very portable and easy to dispose of once you're done! The bag is the bowl and you just toss it when you're finished. This would also be a great recipe for Super Bowl Sunday!

Provided by PSU Lioness

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs ground beef
2 (1 1/4 ounce) packets taco seasoning mix
water
1 head lettuce, shredded
2 large tomatoes, diced
2 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded
2 small onions, diced
1 cup sour cream (more or less depending on how much you want to put on your taco)
1 cup salsa (more or less depending on how much you want to put on your taco)
24 (1 1/2 ounce) bags nacho cheese flavor Doritos (get the individual SMALL bags of chips, not the 99 cent bags. It's called the "Go Sack" or "12 Sack")

Steps:

  • Cook the beef in a pan until no longer pink, crumbling as you go. Remove from heat and drain when completely cooked.
  • Add taco seasoning and the amount of water that the taco seasoning packet suggests. Cook according to taco seasoning packet directions.
  • While the meat is cooking, take an individual bag of Doritos and lightly crunch the chips (don't turn them into crumbs but smash them up a little so you can fit other topping in the bag). Do this for all bags.
  • When lightly crunched, cut off the top seam of the bag and open it up.
  • When taco meat is finished cooking, add between 1 and 2 Tbsp to the bag of chips.
  • Top with any other toppings that are requested by the person eating the "taco".
  • Stick a fork in it and it's done!
  • NOTE: When we sold these, we made 5 lbs of meat, bought 5 Go Sacks, chopped up 3 heads of lettuce, bought 3 bags of cheese, chopped 3 onions and 5 tomatoes, bought 3 big tubs of sour cream and 2 jars of salsa. We ran out most of the time. Just an idea of how much we used to feed a football stadium full of people, most of whom were hungry pre-teen boys. The above recipe would be a good amount for a teenagers birthday party.
