These Walking Tacos are perfect for an on-the-go dinner, a campfire meal or an easy game-night supper. The ingredients go right into the chip bags! —Beverly Matthews, Richland, Washington

Walking Tacos

beef

chili seasoning mix

pepper

(10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles

(15 ounces) Ranch Style beans (pinto beans

each) corn chips

Toppings: Shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and sliced green onions

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 6-8 minutes; drain. Stir in chili seasoning mix, pepper, tomatoes and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Just before serving, cut open corn chip bags. Add beef mixture and toppings.

Who cares what the recipe is called? It may have started off as Frito Pie, but over the years other chips have been used so Frito Pie would not be accurate. Personally, we like to do this with Cool Ranch Doritos...everything else is the same. Recipes evolve. Stop arguing over a stupid name. Point is, no matter what chip you use, this is delicious!

If you cut the bag along the long edge, they are easier to fill and eat. ;-)

These are always great! I have to laugh at the debate of the name. I have never heard of it being called Frito pie. Must be a north/ south thing. Definitely called walking taco around my neck of the woods in MN.

Who cares what you call it in your neck of the woods!!! Still tastes the same! Delicious ??

<p>Delicious loved it.I did it for a fair</p>

I made these for my sons party when he returned from Afghanistan and all the guys loved them.  Perfect for all and I followed your recipe Beverly.  I didn't change anything at all and I will be making a bunch of these next month again when he comes home for a small vacation.  Thank-you!!!

North vs. South: NORTH:  WALKING TACOS! SOUTH:  FRITO-PIE! NO ONE:  LETS EAT THIS WITH OUR FINGERS.

Lots of people tellign to to change the name. "Walking Taco" is what I grew up calling them in the Midwest. I am accustomed to, and prefer, making them with a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos. Hince, calling it a Frito Pie wouldn't make sense for that application. A bag of Doritos full of taco filling... "Walking Taco" is a great name for it. I also recommend cuting the bag open from the side, like a boat. This will make it easier to eat.

I also found this when you google the origins of the walking taco. So looks like everyone is correct.  The “walking frito pie” began in Knoxville, Tennessee, at the 1982 World's Fair. ... Frito pie (also known as “Frito Chili Pie,” “Frito Boat”, “Chili Frito Casserole” or, in the Midwest, a “Walking Taco") is a corn chip and chili con carne dish of disputed origin, popular in the South Western United States.

Correction. These are not frito pie.walking tacos come with hamburger meat and frito pie is with chili. From a southern girl

These were great Beverly. Another quick idea would be to just use canned chili of your liking and, of course, add sliced olives! I can't seem to make anything in the Mexican food family without adding olives lol! Thanks for the fun idea

here in So Cal, these were called pepper bellies and were sold at little league park concession stands during baseball season.

Growing up in 70s Los Angeles these were called chili fritos and the ice cream man sold them from his truck. They were great then and the great now ??

Fun and tasty, my only advice is to hold bag sideways, clip tiny amount from two corners, then slide scissors across from one clipped corner to other clipped corner to make opening.  Opening then is larger and easier to eat from.  Crush chips a bit before making opening.  This for those who have never had walking tacos.  Enjoy

This recipe is perfect for adapting all sorts of ways.

The High School Booster Club serves these at sporting events. Kids love them.

always loved Frito pie, so this Frito pie to go is perfect.

This is a family favorite.   This is a classic recipe that has been around a while.  We love how easy it is to customize.

Sounds great for kids, but I too am wondering, like ktterry1906, since I had never heard of these, how do you eat them? With fork, or fingers, or just tip up bag and pour into your mouth? Since it's "on the go", I wouldn't think with a fork, but other ways would be pretty messy.
