🧡 A Little History: Where Walking Tacos Came From

The walking taco started as a fun, portable meal—usually tacos served right inside a chip bag (like Fritos or Doritos). Popular at fairs, sports games, and school events, they’re loved because they’re messy, crunchy, and customizable.

This casserole version takes everything we love about walking tacos and turns it into a warm, bubbly, oven-baked comfort dish—perfect for sharing with people you love.

🥘 Formation of the Dish

The Walking Taco Casserole is formed in layers:

  • A savory taco-seasoned beef base
  • Beans and corn for heartiness
  • Creamy sour cream for balance
  • Melted cheese for comfort
  • Crunchy chips for that classic walking taco bite

Each layer brings texture, flavor, and satisfaction.

🛒 Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
  • 1 bag Fritos or Doritos, crushed

Optional Toppings (Highly Recommended!)

  • Diced tomatoes
  • Green onions
  • Jalapeños

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  4. Remove from heat and gently stir in the sour cream until creamy.
  5. Spread the beef mixture evenly into a greased 9×13 casserole dish.
  6. Sprinkle crushed chips evenly over the top.
  7. Cover with shredded cheese.
  8. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly, then add your favorite toppings.
