This recipe was so much fun! My 4 and 7 year old daughters thought it was so neat! I will definitely plan to use this recipe on a camping trip or maybe just to make supper fun on a summer day! Thanks for the super idea!

This idea originated at and was first served at the 1982 Worlds Fair in Knoxville, TN. It's called a "Petro" and is still served at Petro restaurants all over the area. I am proud to have eaten one of the first ever served the week the fair opened. You can make them yourself, but as they say, "Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby"! Thanks for the memories....

I'm a Frito addict. These are great as written, or with canned chili instead of taco meat for the traditional "Frito Pie". If you want gourmet or if you want healthy, run far, far away! But if you want something fun, easy and different, this is your recipe.

This is a good recipe, however I don't think it is worth the amount of calories involved per serving!!!!!!

Excellent and fun! My kids (and my husband) loved it! We used nacho cheese Doritos. I also added a can of corn (drained) and dark red kidney beans (rinsed and drained) to the meat while it was simmering in the taco spices to help stretch the meal a bit. Later, we had extra meat mix left over and my husband heated it up for a snack - he said it wasn't nearly the same without the chips. He may not go back to home tacos the old way again! It was certainly easier on my kids than regular tacos - their shells would break on the first bite every time.

So I modified this to serve as a quick adult dinner. Made everything according to directions except instead of serving in the bag, I served in two platic containers with lids, shook well, and we ate right out of the container. Dinner then clean up done lickety-split. Also, I added some zesty ranch dressing. Thanks!!!!

In North Dakota we use nacho cheese chips such as doritos to give them a little extra kick.

These are the best! We call them 'Walking Tacos' and serve them at both my sons' sporting events. We usually run out of these WAY before the hot dogs. Since we starting serving them in my home town, quit a few other schools have been serving them at their events as well. It's a great diversion from your normal "sport foods"!!

The Sports Boosters at the local high school sell these at football games and other events where hot food is a must, but needs to be portable and easy to dispose of!

Don't forget the sliced black olives. Great when on the go. Just remind everyone to dispose of properly. Don't be a litterbug!

My family loves tacos, so I thought we would try this. We really enjoyed it. It was so easy, and mess free! Such a simple idea, thanks for sharing it with us who have never heard of them!

In Texas, these are called "Frito Pie"...so popular that they serve it on the school menu for lunch. To make it even quicker, use canned chili (with or without beans, your choice) in place of the taco meat, and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Heat and eat! Can't get much easier than that!
