Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients
For the taco meat:
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ small yellow onion finely diced
- 1 packet mild taco seasoning
- ½ cup water
For serving:
- 4 individual bags of Fritos corn chips or Doritos
- 1 cup shredded Colby-Jack or mild cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
Optional Toppings:
- Diced tomatoes
- Sour cream
- Pickled jalapeños
- Diced sweet onion
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef and diced onion in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer until the mixture thickens slightly and stays juicy but not soupy. Remove from heat.
- Gently crush the Fritos bags and cut them open down the side. Spoon the warm beef mixture directly into each bag.
- Top with shredded cheese so it melts into the meat, then add lettuce. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and any optional toppings.
- Serve immediately with forks.
