Camping Walking Tacos
An easy handheld camping meal made with spiced ground beef and all your favorite taco fixings piled into a bag of nacho chips. Easy, fast, and kid-friendly.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Four (1-ounce) bags nacho chips (Doritos)
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese for serving
- Diced tomatoes for serving (optional)
- Shredded iceberg lettuce for serving (optional)
- Sour cream for serving (optional)
- Hot sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the oil.
- Add the ground beef and cook, stirring frequently to break it up, until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Open the top of each chip bag. Holding each bag upright, place your hand around the outside of the bag and gently crush the chips.
- Assemble the walking tacos by adding warm ground beef, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, and hot sauce to each bag.
Notes
- Get ahead--Cook your ground beef mixture at home and freeze or refrigerate it in a resealable bag. Rewarm it in a cast iron skillet over your camp stove or campfire before assembling the tacos in a bag.
- Make a double batch of meat--If you're cooking your meat in advance, make a double batch and whip up some make-ahead camping burritos for your trip. The ground beef mixture is the same!
