  • diced onion (to taste)

Notes

  • Individual bags of Doritos, Fritos, or sturdy tortilla chips work best.
  • Plan on one chip bag and approximately ⅓ cup taco meat per person.
  • Cut the bags along the long side for a wider opening that is easier to fill and eat from.
  • Keep taco meat warm in a slow cooker when serving a crowd.
  • Add cheese over the warm meat, then layer vegetables and wet toppings on top.
  • Wait to assemble the tacos until serving so the chips remain crunchy.
  • Ground turkey, shredded chicken, pulled pork, chili, or seasoned beans can replace the ground beef.
  • Prepare the meat and toppings ahead of time, but store each component separately.
