Walking Tacos

I am not sure if football is on as much at your house as it seems to be at ours. My husband and son won their Fantasy Football league this year and that must be why. Last year they came in very last and I don't remember all that much Football watching!! With the playoffs and Superbowl around the corner I thought I would share this idea of Walking Tacos. Definitely more of an idea than a recipe. This would really be good for any casual occasion, even if you are tailgating.

We recently were part of a neighborhood progressive cocktail party. My house was going to be 4th on our hop and wanted to serve something a little more substantial than another light appetizer as people would have already been drinking for 3 hrs before arriving. My friend Melanie told me about how she served Walking tacos for Parent's weekend at her husband's boarding school.

We were expecting about 50 people at our house but not sure how many would actually participate in this idea. I browned 3 lbs of ground beef and added 3 Taco seasonings packets to them. Immediately moved them to the crockpot and put it on low.

I left the 3rd house a few minutes early and put out the toppings. We had taco sauce, salsa, sour cream, and cheese. I also put a pot of blackbeans on the stove for those who did not eat read meat or just wanted to add beans to their tacos.

Well you are probably wondering where I am going with this. When it was time to eat, the folks (ranging in age from 30's to 60's) had to open up a single serving size bag of Doritos, crush them up ever so slightly and then add the fixings.

They are walking tacos because you grab a fork and the bag is your server!! The bag does get a little warm so definitely encourage a napkin.

I am not sure one other person there had ever had them. Granted some were tipsy but they really enjoyed them. You can also use tortilla chips or Frito bags as well. Use any taco meat recipe you choose, even have two crock pots going if you want more variety.

Because the house visit was only 1 hour, people only had one taco so the 3 lbs of meat easily made 35-40 walking tacos. My kids also loved them, I let them have that for dinner before the party. It would be a great kids meal at a party as well.
