Walking Taco Bar #NationalTacoDay

I made a DIY Walking Taco Bar for dinner this week to celebrate National Taco Day and it was a hit with my whole family!

This is a fun recipe to serve at family dinners, parties, and camping trips!

Walking Tacos aka Frito Pies are served right out of the chip bags and can be topped with a wide variety of delicious toppings.

Happy National Taco Day!

Scroll down for the directions and more delicious taco recipes from my fellow bloggers.

My taco lovin’ kiddos got a kick out of this fun recipe. We have had Frito Pies before but letting them eat out of the bag and add their own topping definitely made it more fun and exciting for them. They even added healthy toppings they wouldn’t normally eat with chili like avocado and tomato because it was an interactive meal and they wanted to try it all!

I like to use Fritos chips for Walking Tacos but you can also use Doritos or tortilla chips.

Set out bags of chips and bowls of all the toppings on a large tray.

I like to go all out and add a variety of ingredients to the toppings bar.

Fresh jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, and green onions are all delicious ideas. 

I like to make a simple bean and beef chili in my Crock-Pot for this recipe.

You need about 3 cups for 4 Walking Tacos. 

Open the chip bags, fold them down, and add chili then toppings right in the bag. 

The kids got a kick out of making their own taco in a bag!

Why are they called Walking Tacos? Because they are often served at fairs and festivals and you can walk around and eat them right out of the bag!

Serve with forks and enjoy.

Happy National Taco Day!

    Walking tacos are one of my favorite things! I actually have not had them with chili before and only with taco meat, but I love the idea of using chili because then you get the beans! I can’t wait to try your version.
