"Walking tacos"
are less messy to
serve and eat than
traditional tacos.
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
•
1 pound of lean ground beef or venison
•
1 tablespoon of oil
•
Half an onion, chopped
•
1 package of taco seasoning mix
•
¾ cup of water
•
1 small package of pre-washed shredded iceberg lettuce
•
1 jar/package of salsa or pico de gallo
•
1 package of prepared guacamole
•
Chopped cilantro
•
1 package of shredded Mexican cheese blend
•
6 (2-ounce) bags of Original Fritos Corn Chips or Doritos
•
Hot sauce
1. To save time, chop onion and cilantro at home; store
ingredients in zip-top bags and keep cold until ready to use.
2. In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add ground
meat and onion, breaking up the meat with a spoon and
stirring until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary, then
add taco seasoning mix and water. (Use half the seasoning
mix if you're using chips that are already seasoned.) Simmer
meat on medium low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, set out the other ingredients to offer a taco "bar."
Cut the chip packages along the long side and allow each
person to fill their own taco bags with meat and fixings.
Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients:
•
1 can Pillsbury pizza crust
•
1 box pizza crust mix (the kind you mix with water)
•
Ketchup and mustard, to taste
•
1½ pounds ground beef, browned (pre-cooked)
•
1 pound of bacon, cooked
•
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
•
1 medium size onion, chopped
•
1 small jar hamburger dill pickle chips
•
1 tomato, diced
1. Grease the bottom of a 12-inch Dutch oven with
shortening. Spread the pizza dough into the bottom. Top the
dough with cooked hamburger, squirt ketchup and mustard
over the top (about ½ cup ketchup and 1 tablespoon of
mustard) and layer on desired amounts of onion, tomato,
pickles, bacon and cheese. Mix pizza crust mix with
enough water for it to be runny and pour it over the other
ingredients.
2. Use 8 coals on the bottom and 14 coals on the top. Bake
for 20 minutes. Replace spent coals on top and bake for an
additional 10-15 minutes until the pizza crust on top sets.
