Main Ingredients

Optional Ingredients for Adobo Chicken

Method

Cooking Ground Beef

  1. 1

    Brown the Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat if necessary. Add the taco seasoning to the beef along with 1/2 cup of water. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the water has evaporated.

Cooking Adobo Chicken (optional)

  1. 3

    Cook Chicken

    If using chicken, in a separate skillet, cook the chicken breast over medium heat until fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes per side.

  2. 4

    Add Adobo Sauce

    Once cooked, shred the chicken and mix it with the adobo sauce. Heat through for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.

Assembling the Walking Taco

  1. 5

    Open the Bag

    Take your bag of Doritos or Fritos and carefully open the top, creating a pocket for filling.

  2. 6

    Fill with Meat

    Add the seasoned ground beef or adobo chicken into the bag, filling it generously.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Spoon in the crema, salsa fresca, and salsa verde on top of the meat.

  4. 8

    Mix and Enjoy

    Use a fork to mix the ingredients inside the bag. Enjoy your El Walking Taco directly from the bag!
