All the flavor of taco night packed into a chip bag and ready to go. Easy, customizable, and built for a crowd.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup water
- 8 individual bags of corn chips
- Shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, jalapeños, green onions, or cilantro
Directions
- Cook the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Stir in all seasonings.
- Add the water, reduce heat, and simmer 3 to 5 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Gently crush each unopened bag of chips into bite-size pieces. Open and fold down the tops.
- Spoon warm taco meat into each bag and add favorite toppings.
- Stick in a fork and dig in.
OCW Kitchen Tip: For a crowd, arrange the meat, chips, and toppings buffet-style and let everyone build their own.
