    What are Walking Tacos? This was the question I found myself asking several years ago when I was first introduced to this ingenious idea. These wonderful hand tacos are a party food you won't want to miss. An easy way to make everyone happy! They are a great meal for any get together.

    But really...What are Walking Tacos?

    Walking Tacos are a hand taco that you can walk around with, with little mess and top anyway you choose. That's why they are such a wonderful party food. People can top them anyway they want and still be apart of any game or conversation without being stuck at a table or eating area!

    The first step in making Walking Tacos is starting with personal sized bags of chips. I prefer Fritos, Cool Ranch Doritos, or Nacho Doritos. You can place a variety of chips on the table for your guest to choose from. Fritos are definitely my favorite. You can buy a large pack of Fritos Original Corn Chips here.

    Once you open your bag of chips, you're ready to top them and make your creation. When serving these handheld tacos, I like to have a wide variety of taco topping favorites. Get creative with your table setting and have various bowls with each topping.

    Assembling Walking Tacos

    Our favorite toppings include:

    • Tomatoes
    • Cilantro Lime Guacamole
    • Lettuce
    • Sour Cream--or plain greek yogurt for a healthier option
    • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
    • Diced Red Onions
    • Cilantro
    • Taco Seasoned Black Beans or seasoned ground beef
    • Avocado

    Once assembled, you're ready to party hard and have your food conveniently with you at the same time! Get ready for some good times and happy guests. With these wonderful tacos in a bag, you are now free to roam around, talk to your guests, or enjoy a game without being tied down to a table. Tacos on the run...or the walk!

    This party meal would pair perfectly with Brazilian Strawberry Limeade. Your guests will love it!
